Robert bateman Dark Gyrfalcon

" DARK GYRFALCON "
Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
25.375" x 16.75"
Email-price

 

"The gyrfalcon is the king of the falcons and is much sought after by the falconers of the world.  In this painting, I wanted to indicate a lonely feeling, thus I have the bird looking a bit wistful at the bottom of a large misty place."  Robert Bateman




Robert Bateman Descending Shadows

" DESCENDING SHADOWS "

Robert Bateman

8659 s/n Paper
21.25" x 28.5"
$305


"As a culture, wolves live communally and teach their young.  They are a culture whose lifestyle has evolved in deep forests in need of those vast undisturbed tracts of old trees in order to survive, but the destruction of the forests in the past few decades has far surpassed that of previous centuries.  Let us hope that we can find alternative sources of fiber and protect these large areas of old growth forests and the wolves which inhabit them." Robert Bateman



Robert Bateman Desert bighorn

"DESERT BIGHORN
"
Robert Bateman

1300 s/n Paper
6.5" x 9"
$150


As is usually the case in my paintings, I am almost as absorbed by the habitat as the animal. His gaze is resting on the spectacular and rugged scenery. We can admire it, but we would expend great time and effort to get around in it. To the bighorn, it is no problem. Around the ram is a more intimate glimpse of habitat with yucca and grasses. Desert growth in detail is complex and varied. I enjoyed elaborating on its patterns and rhythms.

 

 

Robert Bateman Dipper By The Waterfall

" DIPPER BY THE WATERFALL "
Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
13.25" x 21.75"
$595

"I put this dipper into this picture because dippers are almost the spirit of little woodland rivers and streams.  They are completely at home in, around and under the waterfalls.  They dash into areas where one would expect them to be swept to their deaths in search of insect larvae."  Robert Bateman





Robert Bateman Dispute Over Prey

" DISPUTE OVER PREY "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
20.625" x 31"
$255

"The scene I’ve recreated here is very common; the lioness makes the kill, and the male moves in to commence the feast.  A lioness is used to putting a male in his place in disputes over protecting cubs or a fresh kill.  It’s mostly bluff and bluster, but in the case of feeding, she usually lets him get his way."  Robert Bateman



Robert Bateman Down For A Drink Mourning Dove

"DOWN FOR A DRINK - MOURNING DOVE
"

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
8.75" x 19.5"
$175

"The mourning dove is one of the commonest and most widespread birds in the inhabited part of North America.  Although its cousin, the passenger pigeon, was pushed to extinction, the mourning dove has thrived.  I am sure that there are more of them now than there were before the white man came to this continent."  Robert Bateman



Robert Bateman Downy Woodpecker on Goldenrod

DOWNY WOODPECKER ON GOLDENROD

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper Edition
16 1/2" x 9 1/2"
Email-price


"Huddled in the blowing snow, the male downy woodpecker has found a morsel of food in a goldenrod ." Robert Bateman



 

 

Robert Bateman Daylilies and Dragofly
Paper 9.875" x 23.75"

 
Robert Bateman Dragonfly Original Lithograph
Lithograph 2.5" x 6"

" DAYLILIES AND DRAGONFLIES "
Robert Bateman

1250 s/n Paper & Lithograph $265
2 Piece Set

"The graceful curves of the daylilies interlaced with wild grasses and set against the still waters of the pond reminded me of a Japanese screen.  The dragonflies were using the daylilies as vantage points to watch for insect prey.  They always seemed to me like noble warriors of the air… slender, alert and agile." Robert Bateman





Robert bateman Defensive Stand

" DEFENSIVE STAND "

Robert Bateman

120 s/n Canvas Giclee
31" x 31"
$895

Imagine that the fate of your species depended upon some of the most densely populated, strife-torn, environmentally stressed and, in some cases, corrupt places in the world. That is where the future of the Siberian crane lies.

The International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin plans to use the image in this painting in posters published in 8 or 9 different Asian languages -- Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, Uzbeki, Afghana-yi and others. They plan to display these posters in towns and villages throughout the distribution area of the Siberian cranes. The western population is down to about 10 birds, the central population has been reduced to 2. The eastern population of approximately 2500 birds is threatened by the Three Gorges Dam in China. These magnificent birds are the Asian equivalent of the whooping crane. With international efforts and of course financing, the good news story of the whooping cranes could be repeated. At one point their numbers were down to 14 and now there are 300-350 birds.

I based this painting on one of the Siberians at the ICF. He is not preening, he is in a "sabre threat pose". If you don’t get the hint, his next step is to jump you and either spear you with his beak or rake you with his claws.

I was very taken by the abstract form in his defiant pose. I hope that in some small way it will help to get the attention of enough people to bring the Siberian crane back from its course towards extinction.




Robert bateman Dik Diks

" DIK DIKS "

Robert Bateman

500 s/n Paper
17" x 25.375"
E-Mail Price


"I have always been attracted to intimate scenes - a few square yards of seemingly ordinary field, forest floor or scrubland, which are filled with variety and complexity if you look carefully.  The dik-diks are small, the smallest of African antelopes, only about twelve inches high.  You can see the scale of the painting by the relative size of the elephant dung, a typical feature of dik-dik habitat, as are the different grasses and bushes and the volcanic rock.  The dik-diks are attractive animals to look at and to paint.  They resemble tremendously condensed high-strung racehorses.  Every muscle shows, and their anatomy and bone structure seem very tight and interlocked.  They are exceptionally nervous and you usually see them either in a freeze position or else springing out of sight." Robert Bateman

 

Robert Bateman Distant Danger Raccoon

" DISTANT DANGER - RACCOON
"

Robert Bateman

1600 s/n Paper
9.75" x 16.25"
$165


"Here I have shown a raccoon on alert to a potential threat.  It may need to fight or it may need to flee, but more likely it will go on with its business of poking along the stream edge looking for frogs or crayfish."  Robert Bateman

 


Robert Bateman Douglas Fir and Rufous Hummingbird


DOUGLAS FIR & RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
14.875" x 22.25"
$795


"Weightless as a sunbeam and glowing like an ember, the rufous hummingbird darts into view, disappearing as soon as you blink.  Especially drawn to red flowers like a tiny bull charging a matador’s cape, he rushes from one bloom to another."   Robert Bateman





Robert bateman Dozing Lynx

" DOZING LYNX "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper 22" x 29.25" Email-price
180 s/n Giclee Canvas 30" x 40" $1325
50 s/n Giclee Canvas 36" X 48" $2295

 

"My painting shows the lynx in a late evening’s tranquil moment at the entrance to a cave.  It is at peace - lightly dozing prior to its night hunt."  Robert Bateman





Robert bateman Driftwood perch Striped Swallows

" DRIFTWOOD PERCH- STRIPED SWALLOWS
"
Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
13 1/2" x 20"
$275


"The striped swallow is a bird found in Africa, but they are like swallows the world over.  They are trim and streamlined, and they seem to be in motion even when at rest.  Even though they seem delicate, they appear hard, almost as if they were sculpted out of metal.  This perch appealed to me because of its texture, its sculptural shapes and the way it echoes the form of the birds."
Robert Bateman
