Back in the late 80s and early 90s, an artist named Bev Doolittle suddenly exploded in popularity on the art scene.
Her paintings are beyond cool. Mostly western-themed, she specializes in "camouflage art," such as her most famous painting called "Pintos":
Or here's one called "Doubled Back":
I mention her work because the other day, we saw our very own Bev Doolittle scenario.
This is a small grove of black hawthorn trees we have on the edge of our property.
We were walking on the road when I noticed something unusual in the rocks at the base of the trees.
Here's a closeup.
Camouflage art, come to life. I see how Bev Doolittle gets her inspiration.
My first thought when beginning to read this was about kitties I've had, then there you end on kitty-flage!
ReplyDeleteI used to have some dark brown kitties with black "points", whose mom was a siamese. Their daddy was solid gray so I'm not sure how they turned out so beautifully.
Anyway, soot kept appearing throughout the house, then one day I caught them wallowing in the ashes of the burn pile, and the mystery was solved.
An orange kitty before them always rolled in the reddish, orange dirt.
I think the moral of this story is pets should match the inside of your house if possible, or you may have to re-do things to match them!
Just joking.
White animals will roll in anything, especially dogs.
But I loved that pinto picture!
I had one last year elk hunting. Way up above Mapleton, I looked down onto a bench at the edge of a clear-cut. I sighed and said to myself, "nothing but stumps". And then I blinked, and saw that the stumps all looked the same... yup. Unfortunately, it was 5 cows and 2 yearlings, but I couldn't see them until I realized what they were!
