" KEEPER OF THE LAND "

Robert Bateman

290 s/n Original Lithograpgh
25" x 33"
$1565


What I notice most in nature is its variety - each square inch in a landscape has its own particular texture and sculptural quality.  The grizzly is a landscape-like animal; each part of the animal has different qualities. - Robert Bateman

" KING PENGUINS "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper

This painting is meant to revel in the glorious colors and modulated tones of the king penguin.  Each bird looks like a Georgia O’Keefe painting. - Robert Bateman






Robert bateman Kinfisher in winter

" KINGFISHER IN WINTER "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
20" x 24"
$393


Strong, contrasting colors are the high cards to play in a painting.  I use them very carefully and deliberately for the strongest effect.  I eventually chose a kingfisher for this painting.  They are not usually thought of as winter birds, but can often be seen in the snow, providing there is some open running water where they can fish. - Robert Bateman

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper 16.25" x 32.25" $175
180 s/n Canvas Giclee 22" x 44" $745

Leopards lurk. Those of us who love to look for wild animals in Africa are always conscious of that fact. We know that leopards see us many, many times more often than we see them. During my first two safaris I saw plenty of lions and cheetahs but not one leopard. On my next two safaris I saw one each time but that was because someone else's vehicle was parked beside a tree that hid a leopard. The eyes of the guides in those vehicles were obviously sharper than mine. In each case I had been driving along the Seronera River in the Serengeti Park of Tanzania.

This is supposedly the best place to find them. You look up into the branches of the yellow 'fever' acacia trees not for the leopard but for the tail dangling down. Their spotted bodies are so camouflaged you can look right at them and not see them as they are pressed against a branch. It is much easier to spot another vehicle and go over and check what they are looking at.
This is why I have placed the leopard in the cleft of the granite cliff in Namibia. So that they are not so easily seen they often lower their nose so that it is concealed and the head shape is less obvious. I have placed the sunlit bare branches of the fig tree in front to help with the hiding. Of course my real joy in doing this painting was to show the light glancing across the texture of the rock and to play with the forms and textures and warm colours. These plus the tree and the leopard speak to me of the soul of Africa.. - Robert Bateman

 

Robert Bateman Kestrel and Grasshopper

" KESTREL AND GRASSHOPPER "

Robert Bateman

1250 s/n Paper
21.625" x 29.125"
$255


One of the most dynamic little predators of North America is the American kestrel.  Its dapper plumage makes it even more special.  As it is a falcon, the kestrel is trim and streamlined and hunts prey on the wing.  Even sitting still, it looks swift and agile.  The vivid harlequin pattern of its face, with the characteristic lustrous eye and teardrop markings of the falcon, almost makes the kestrel look adorable.  As prey well knows, however, it is an efficient and ruthless hunter.  Late summer is grasshopper season, and the fields are a happy hunting ground.  In this painting, I have shown a tousled, almost opulent meadow with several species of grass.  The wind has imposed a rhythmic pattern to it, and it seems, like the kestrel, to be in motion while in repose.  I have designed the painting to have the kestrel streaking in from the top left in hot pursuit of the grasshopper.  The swishy wave action of the grasses carries the motion across the picture, with the dark green in the lower right creating the diagonal tension. - Robert Bateman





Robert bateman King Of The Realm

" KING OF THE REALM "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
14.875" x 22.375"
Email Price


This painting is a composite of many of the noble lions I have seen, showing the “king” in the maturity of his rule.  He is a ruler of his pride and ruler of many square miles of hunting territory.  His resting place is high in a granite outcrop, a protrusion of ancient Africa which rises above the game-filled plains. - Robert Bateman





Robert Bateman Kingfisher in Aspen

" KINGFISHER AND ASPEN "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
20" x 24.75"
$945


Universally, the kingfisher is found near water and fish.  To me, in North America, it always symbolizes clear, blue northern waters.  The leaves of the trembling aspen, like medallions of gold, tilt and glint in the sun.  Even in the slightest breeze, it shimmers and produces a gentle, rustling sound like distant moving water. - Robert Bateman






Robert Bateman Kittiwake Greeting

" KITTIWAKES GREETING "

Robert Bateman

950 s/n Paper
15.5" x 10.5"
$295


Along the cliff, the air is filled with cries and quarrels and the surge of the sea. Kittiwakes love company and are constantly discussing their affairs with the repeated kitti-wake, kitti-wake and variations on that theme. - Robert Bateman
