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 an important landmark in my work. It was started as an abstract - a bold, gesture painting which was strong and exciting. Three years after it was started, I finished the painting, after I had started to paint realistically again. I preferred the surface of the real world - elm bark - to the mere surface of the paint."
