Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:

"The great horned owl is one of the most widespread owls in North America. Since I have always liked the look of fierce creatures, this fellow’s expression is one of my favorites. The great, curving frown is emphasized by the upswept 'horns'. Of course, it is anthropomorphising to say that the bird is angry. He always looks this way, no matter what his mood. But the expression does indeed fit with a fierce and capable attacker of other creatures he preys upon."
