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:
"This painting is loosely based on a scene I witnessed in the Everglades one beautiful Easter morning; I rearranged it, however, to create the feeling of an oriental tapestry.
I wanted to give an effect similar to old shot silk. I played with the colours so that they would be somewhat tropical and lavish, perhaps reminiscent of a Gaugin painting."
