"READY FOR FLIGHT - PEREGRINE FALCON" |
|
950 s/n Paper
13 1/2 " x 25"
|
The
most exciting raptor in the world is possibly the peregrine
falcon. It is one of the fastest
creatures on the planet. Its
speed in a dive has been estimated at between 150 and
200 miles per hour. The peregrine
is built for the chase in an elongated teardrop shape
- the ultimate in streamlining. - Robert Bateman |
"RECLINING OCELOT" |
|
950 s/n Paper
11 1/8" x 22 1/2"
$210
|
The
ocelot is perhaps the most elegant of the small cats.
The ocelot in this print is relaxed and watchful. The
painting is in the soft mood of a shade, tropical siesta.

"RED FOX ON THE PROWL" |
|
|
950 s/n Paper
20 " x 31 3/4 "
$640 |
This
fox is on the prowl. He is about
to check under the pine tree where the snow is thinner
and where some of his prey might be finding shelter. Just before he pushes through the tangle of twigs
and grasses, he pauses for a moment and notices some
rabbit tracks. - Robert Bateman |
"RED SQUIRREL" |
| |
|
Red
squirrels, or their close cousins, are found all over
the Northern Hemisphere, wherever there are coniferous
trees. They are very active,
scampering, jumping and climbing throughout the day. They seem to be either moving full tilt or in
a “freeze alert” position. This
is the pose I have chosen for this painting. - Robert
Bateman |
"RED-TAILED HAWK STUDY - BRONZE" |
|
|
Realistic
painting is an attempt at illusion. Depth, form, space and air must be portrayed
on a two-dimensional surface. The
slightest change of angle creates a different apparent
flat shape. In my painting, I
want to convey an understanding of all of the planes
in depth by manipulating the shapes and their tones.
No picture such as a drawing or photograph is really
adequate for reference. Therefore,
I often use these pictures to create three-dimensional
reference or sculpture. This
not only gives me a better understanding but also allows
me to see what happens in varying light conditions.
I have been doing these sculptures in clay or Plasticine
for many years. After I am finished
using them for a given painting, the sculptures tend
to be neglected and damaged or destroyed. Many people have suggested that I put my sculptures
in more permanent form such as bronze so that others
could see and enjoy them. The red-tailed hawk portrait
shows the qualities of that particular species. He is alert and handsome but with a certain mildness
in his generally fierce bird of prey look. The flat planes and concave and convex surfaces
are exaggerated to help me express them more clearly
in the painting. - Robert Bateman |

| I
find that I am constantly surprised by what I see everyday. The natural world is dynamic and almost never
identical visually. My surprises
are usually modest and on a small and gentle scale. One such small and surprising delight, this particular
clump of reeds, was a glorious thing to me. - Robert

Most
people can recall a place that is very special in their

that may date back to childhood. For
me, that place is what our family called Rocky Point.

|
950 s/n Paper
20" x 31 1/2"
$1195 |
The
owl I have shown is perched on an old cedar post. I enjoy the way the elements on the installations
were placed by our forefathers. On
some long forgotten day, a farmer placed that post. The reason is no longer evident, but for the
owl it doesn’t matter. The post
is a perfect place from which to begin his hunt. - Robert

"RED-TAILED HAWK BY THE CLIFF" |
| |
950 s/n Paper

" x 29 3/4 "
$965 |
I
am honored to have a resident red-tail that has selected
a big oak tree outside my studio window as his perch. When someone comes out the door, he gives a single,
shrill keeer-r-r and calmly takes wing, soaring down
into the valley. It never ceases
to thrill me to look at a flying bird of prey. - Robert

| "RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD AND RAIL FENCE" |
|
950 s/n Paper
18 1/4" x25"
$1195
|
The
bold, slashing strokes of the rail fence and its reflection
attracted me because of the abstract form. It made me
think of a Franz Kline painting or a piece of Japanese
calligraphy. The effect of the strokes suggested a
Samurai conflict which seemed appropriate for these
red-winged warriors. - Robert Bateman |

In
this century, many species have become extinct. One of the last major species to disappear in
the wild in North America is the red wolf. I have shown this one in the morning light, moving
through the rank lowland grass and willow thicket. This was its typical habitat when last seen in
the wild. - Robert Bateman |
"RESTING PLACE - CAPE BUFFALO" |

Paper Edition

The
cape buffalo is a powerful and dangerous African mammal. Often mistaken for the slovenly domestic water
buffalo, the cape buffalo is more like a tough, Spanish
fighting bull. Here I have shown
a mature bull in repose. Something
has startled him and his ever-present cattle egret companions
- perhaps an approaching elephant or lion. - Robert

The
American robin is one of the most widespread birds in
North America. I have seen them
in the South and at the arctic tree line, but most people
think of them as “right around home” birds. In fact, they have adapted so well to human settlement
that they are probably more abundant around towns, villages
and farms than they are in the wilderness. - Robert
