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:
"I wanted to convey this landscape using large, empty white spaces that darken toward the top, while the dark trees are modulating in the opposite direction. Technically, I found this a particular challenge because I am so used to working with opaque paint, and I can paint light or pale lines over already painted dark areas. But working here with pencil, I had to do all my shading in between the light twigs."
