"Ben Doolittle: New Magic: The Collector's Edition: New Magic Servies as a reflection of my career thus far, as well as presenting the foundation for what is to come. It's appropriate that the Native American concept of the Sacred Circle is so prevalent here, because it symbolizes my evolutin as an artist and so perfectly exemplifies the act of artistic expression." - excerpt from the Preliminary Page text by Bev Doolittle. "New Magic begins where The Art of Bev Doolittle left off - at the start of a new and exciting period in Bev Doolittle's life and art. Somewhere between the first book and the second, at the height of her artistic powers, Bev Doolittle had a kind of vision, almost literally saw her mission and began to paint it. Suddenly she found herslf going down new paths, meeting new people, exploring new ideas, finding adventure not only in the wilderness but in the public arena. At the same time, her paintings began to take on a more public, more powerful role. They continued to delight and inspire but they also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for wilderness conservation, education and wildlife causes. The only person who is not surprised by any of this is Bev Doolittle. Magic is her element." - excerpt from the Author's Foreward by Elise Maclay, 1995.
