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:
"In this painting, I have shown a mature maple with its spile and traditional tin sap bucket. The warmth of the early spring sun is melting the snow and causing the sap to rise. Through the carpet of last autumn's leaves, a spectacular array of spring flowers is about to emerge. And the first of the migrant warblers to arrive is searching the area for early insects. The myrtle (yellow-rumped) warbler is a true harbinger of spring in the woodlot."
