I like the way the traditional works of man fit with nature, and nature fits with them. The wooden boat is almost as old as mankind. I like the partly deteriorating surface of this boat and the rickety boardwalk. The gulls also enjoy the place. - Robert Bateman

" SAW-WHET OWL AND WILD GRAPES "
	950 s/n Paper 8 7/8" x 12 1/2" $285
Before my family and I moved to Canada’s West Coast, our foothold on the planet was property I had bought in Halton County, southern Ontario, in 1959. I loved those ten sloping acres nestled in the Niagara escarpment and the house I later designed and built there. In the 1960s the Escarpment was already the only rough country that remained in the environs of metropolitan Toronto, which is why I moved there. From my studio window I had a splendid view of one of the Escarpment’s more impressive eminences, Rattlesnake Point. I contemplated that view in every weather and every season, by day and by night. But probably my favorite time was during those golden days of autumn when the eastern hardwood forest is at its most exuberant. My daily hike through our woods and meadow is like a feast for the senses. I reveled in the rich dank smell of decay and the incredible variety of form and color - the jewelweed and goldenrod that often grow as high as my chin and the intricate tracery of wild grapes, whose leaves, stems and tendrils remind me of Tiffany lamps. - Robert Bateman

"SIERRA EVENING" MEXICAN WOLF
	1250 s/n Paper 19 3/8" x 30 1/4" $199
The American Southwest is a region a stark mountains, arid grasslands and vast deserts, yet it harbors an amazing variety of plants and animals. Unfortunately, among the animals we can no longer find the Mexican wolf, el lobo, the smallest wolf subspecies, which formerly flourished from the southwestern United States to southern Mexico. As cattle ranching expanded, the Mexican wolf declined, poisoned or shot as a threat to livestock. Although a few wild members of this vanishing race may still survive in remote parts of Mexico, there have been no recent sightings. The survival of this subspecies will therefore depend on the successful release of captive-bred wolves into safe wilderness. - Robert Bateman

"SAP BUCKET - MYRTLE WARBLER"
	950 s/n Paper 11 3/4 " x 19 7/8 " $175
A particular pleasure of early spring was a visit to a sugar bush, a maple woodlot being tapped to make maple syrup. The sap begins to run when temperatures exceed freezing during the day then drop below freezing at night. In fact, this alternation between freeze and thaw is crucial to a good flow. During my childhood, sap was still collected by traditional methods, in much the same way that native people had taught the early pioneers to harvest it. When the sap buckets were full, they were emptied into a gathering tank on a horse-drawn sled for transport to the sugarhouse, where the sap was evaporated in big pans over a constantly stoked wood fire. When I recall maple-sugaring time, I hear the snorting of horses and feel the crunch of last year’s leaves beneath the granular late-spring snow. The warm spring sun shines through a barren tracery of branches, casting filigree shadow patterns on the ground. I know that in a few weeks the woods will come alive with wildflowers, but the only signs of life now are the running sap and perhaps an early returning migrant like a yellow-rumped warbler. Inside the sugar house arid woodsmoke mixes with the sweet smell of maple vapors, reputed to be a sure-fire cure for a spring cold. Such memories evoke for me a simpler time, when communal labor was a regular part of most people’s lives. - Robert Bateman

"THE SCOLDING" CHICKADEES AND SCREECH OWL
	2500 s/n Paper 11 5/8" x23 3/8" $440
The Scolding depicts one of those small domestic dramas that we all encounter every now and then - only this is a wilderness drama. The chickadees are “scolding” the screech owl, which has tried to hide deep in the boughs of a tree during the day. - Robert Bateman

"SCREECH OWL STUDY"

950 s/n Paper
9 3/4" x 7 3/4"
$155

This small owl, barely longer than a robin, may be found in wilderness or even urban settings if there are proper old trees with holes for nesting. In fact, many of my screech owl sightings through the years have been of a head and shoulders perfectly filling the round opening of a nest box or old woodpecker hole. The splotchy, gray pattern is often such a good camouflage that one at first thinks that the hole has simply disappeared. - Robert Bateman

"SCREECH OWL IN APPLE TREE"
	290 s/n Original Lithograph 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" $315 Original Canadian Issue Price $430
As a boy, I spent many a day in winter and early spring looking for owls. There was an old orchard we normally visited to check the holes in the trees for owls. Since we didn't mark them, we had to hunt for the holes each year. On one occation, we could have sworn that there was a hole, but we couldn't find it. We went away and came back again for a second check when we realized we were looking right at it, but the owl's head was filling the cavity. When basking in the daytime, owls often almost close their eyes, partly to sleep, but also for camouflage. Small birds are attracted to owls' eyes and would mob and pester them. Our screech owl was quite confident that he blended perfectly with the tree. And he did.

	9000 s/n Paper Edition 25 5/8" x 32 1/2 " $1095 250 s/n Canvas Giclee 24" x 36" $1995
Part of my fascination with the jaguar, the largest wild cat of the Americas, stems from my interest in big predators. But like many large carnivores that live at the peak of their particular food pyramid, the jaguar also stands as a symbol of the disappearing tropical forest. Its varied diet alone demonstrates the diversity of the habitat it requires, preying as it does on at least sixty different species, including the razor-tusked rainforest pig called the peccary, and the capybara, which as the largest living rodent weighs as much as 132 pounds. I’ve never seen a jaguar in the wild - only jaguar footprints in the jungle of Belize. But that somehow seems appropriate for this swift and solitary hunter. The jaguar once ranged from the southwestern United States to southern Argentina. Now, except in the still-vast rainforest of the Amazon basin, jaguars are very rare, their numbers having been drastically reduced by big-game hunters and the vanishing habitat. - Robert Bateman

SHEER DROP - MOUNTAIN GOATS
	950 s/n Paper 27 1/2" "20" Email Price
Of all of the American mammals, the world of the mountain goat is the most rarified and precipitous, and yet he negotiates it with the nonchalant ease of a stroll in the park. I would be in a state of sheer terror if I was in their position, but the goats’ bland expressions are compatible with their confidence. - Robert Bateman

"SHRIKE PAIR AND HAWTHORN"
	950 s/n Paper 12 7/8" x 26 1/4" $150
Although I am a great supporter of wilderness, an important part of my psyche has a strong pull toward the hand of man interacting with nature. However, this must be traditional human activity, not the modern industrial variety. Many of the happiest hours of my childhood were spent roaming old pastures. Old pastures gave a perfect mixed habitat for variety in nature. A common tree species was the hawthorn or thorn apple, which gave great protection for nesting birds. In spring, the smell of hawthorn flowers fills me with joy of that season, and in fall the red berries not only look decorative, but also provide food for many species. Hawthorns have also always been associated with shrikes. The shrike’s nickname is the “butcher bird” because of its tendency to impale prey on a thorn. - Robert Bateman
