Just because we haven’t talked about Bev Doolittle for some time now, doesn’t mean we think any less of her extraordinary talent. But there’s one great mistake I keep repeating – each time we feature some of HER magnificent art, I wrongfully presume Bev is a guy. No matter how many times you corrected me on this, I keep forgetting what you have told me. I’d like to make up for this by sharing a short bio of the artist:
Bev Doolittle is one of America’s most collected artists. Crowded with intricate visual detail, haunted by presences seen and unseen, her paintings captivate the viewer on many levels. Traveling throughout the west in a camper, Bev had the luxury of time to develop her unique style. Her signature painting, “Pintos“, proved to be a dramatic departure point for Bev when her evolving style and technique merged with her love of nature to create what would become virtually a new genre.
She is often called a “camouflage artist” because her distinctive use of context, design and pattern help viewers discover meanings which seem hidden only until they become obvious. Having all this in mind, after viewing rest of her opus (links in this article), try and see as many hidden animals there are in this picture. Don’t stop after you’ve only seen one or two – there are much more to be discovered!
I like these kind od illusions. I only spotted 5 so far ….
i spotted lyk 7 bears, 2 lions,4 horses,a monkeyy, eagle, && a humann
at a glance i saw 8 maybe 9 bears/wolves and a horse and his rider
I see 7 bears. :)
i see 6 different animals
I could only see 6 bears…?
I only spotted 5
thats pretty found only like two though lol

Wow, this is beautiful. For my part I only see six hidden animals, bears actually. Hum, on second thought, I think I see seven.
7
well I count 6 + horse and rider
Cool and by the way its my FIRST COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super sick! i see 6 hidden animals in this one. This GIRL has got some talent.
First comment!
i can see nine animals. Great picture!

So far I count 8, 9 if you include the horse.
I’ve spotted 6 definates so far and a couple of questionable ones.
I like the expression on the horse and it flees.
i see a dog, a horse, a lion, an eagle and a bear but still i think im missing somehting
i can see 9 animals mainly bears
I see many animals all over the place in this picture. I could probably see more if the image was larger. These old eyes have difficulty finding hidden things on a postage stamp size illustration.
We have found 7 bears so far …..
Nice! I saw two bears, a jaguar, a tiger, a goat and a monkey.
And the human and horse thing, of course.
I spot 5 animals; a lion, a knight on a horse, a wolf, a lion and a bear?
*a lion, a knight on a horse, a wolf, a dog and a bear? and btw, there is more than a lion. there are two i think.
I can see 7. How many are there supposed to be?
Awesome… I see so many animals … first saw a lion and then the huge ..then slowly realised there were so many of them :)
I was about to say: I see four. But before I type such a thing, I recount them: “Oh there’s one more! And there, and there.
Al together, I see seven now (counting horseman and horse as one). Also, I type every thing out so I wont give spoilers.
I only see 6.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
I could see 5 bears and an eagle.
i see 6, possibly 7. Great drawing.
5 but i dont no if you whoud cont the logs that look like spider fangs
I see bears , lions and the guy riding the horse.
FIRST COMMENT !!!
I’m counting 6. There’s probably more
Wow! That’s pretty cool! I see 6 bears and an Indian with a spear riding a horse.
Oh yeah! 1st comment
6 bears! ?
I can see six @ the moment…….
What a wonderful piece of art. There are so many and the computer picture is so small that I lost count, every thing started to look like an animal. Thanks again for a great optical illusion………..:)
i see 6 bears. bout it :\
I counted seven but I think there is more. Love this.
I see 7 animals.
4 bears, 2 lions and a horse
Indian on a horse
6 Bears?
this is small and blury. If I put my face close to it, I can see some animal head around, but it hurts my eyes… Don’t suppose there’s a higher resolution version of this thing around?
I saw the horse & rider as a fairy princess with a wand at first. Oops. But now that my eyes are focused, I see five bears.
Well,I saw a lot of faces(Like usual),and a lot of animals. It’s a good piece of art. I love the nature aspect… You don’t see it as much these days…
I count 10, wonderful illusion
It’s a zoo in there.
I may be able to see more if the photo was larger, but quickly I found 6 hidden heads of bears and wolves.
10-15 whow this is stuffed… every time I angle my head a new one pops up. Wish the picture was bigger/better quality so one could see it more detailed. She’s one great artist.
Let’s do it again!
5 bears, 3 humans, a horse, 2 goats, a lioness, 2 jaguars, 3 squirrels, a fairy with a wand (or is it a butterfly?), and eagle and 3 monkeys.
WOAH.
I ONLY SEE 5 beARS cheaters…
I see 7 bears.
Without reading the introduction on what to find,, I can already see 4 bears! AND I SAW A HORSE!!! I am depressed, i’m really experiencing illusion! lol
I see three horses and two bears…or maybe one of thoses horses was a do head?
Dog*
all i saw was a horse with someone on its back
6 bears.
