Beyond Negotiations
by Bev Doolittle®
Theres no need for the subtlety of camouflage to enhance the
storyline of this painting, for the meaning is clear: the time for
talking is over. Beyond Negotiations
is one of a few action pieces that Ive created, says
the artist. I had a lot of fun with gestures, facial expressions
and creating a sense of depth and dust. Containing the charging
Indians within a long horizontal border was not an option.This image
sums up the results of all the negotiations leading up to the present
moment (whatever they may have been!) The fact that the image is
bursting at the seams helps to emphasize the immediacy of the warriors
obvious negative response to the last proposal.
At 72" x 26", the original artwork for
Beyond Negotiations is not only Bevs first acrylic
painting in over thirty years, but her largest ever.The piece began
its life as a stone lithograph, but when Bev saw her sketch enlarged,
she knew these warriors were destined to become a big painting.The
impact created by the large format of the original translates perfectly
to both The Greenwich Workshop MuseumEdition and The Greenwich
Workshop MasterWork canvases.
Beyond Negotiations was originally slated for release
as an Original Fine Art Lithograph.The process through which original
lithographs are made is an art form rife with chances for things
to go wrong, and indeed, something did. In the process of creating
the lithograph for Beyond Negotiations, the original drawing surface
absorbed too much oil in several areas and subsequently the printed
copies did not meet Greenwich Workshops standards of quality
and the entire run had to be destroyed.To create the original lithograph
again would entail starting over. However, in the time she had spent
working on the piece, Bev realized that the image would have more
impact as a large painting.
Doolittle fans and collectors couldnt be happier that Bev
made the decision that she has, and that her instincts about the
image have proved correct. Already, demand for these editions appears
to be greater than the edition sizes that have been set. Not since
1984 has a fine art edition of Bevs been sized below 8,500
pieces, so make sure you get yours before it becomes an issue Beyond
Negotiations!

Arriving June 2007
The Greenwich Workshop offers several large-scale editions that
make bold, sweeping
statements. A MasterWork or MuseumEdition makes
an impressive addition to any space. Our Fine Art MasterWorks
are images measuring over 40 inches in at least one dimension.
The MuseumEditions measure over 60 inches in at least
one dimension. Hanging smaller canvases in the same space would
not produce the same magnificent window-on-the-world effect.
With images to please every taste and style, these grand scale
pieces complement any decor and give a sense of proportion to
the larger spaces in your home and office.
Greenwich Workshop MasterWork and MuseumEditions
allow the collector to experience the artists work with
the same magnitude as viewing the original. MasterWork
and MuseumEditions have been produced from the original
artwork of several of The Greenwich Workshops illustrious
family of artists. |
