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:

"Loons speak to me of the Canadian wilderness. They do this in voice as well as appearance. Their plumage is both dignified and decorative. More than any other water bird they seem to show off their plumage by standing on yheir tail and flapping their wings showingly.

This may not be the scientific case. Perhaps it just seems that way because the flapping display is so spectacular. To do this painting I used many different sources and had a number of false starts before I got it right. Long may loons continue to flap."
