" VANTAGE POINT "
Robert Bateman

Like the massive shadow, the eagle sweeps along the coast. Finding a vantage point, he lands.
Facing into the wind from the sea, he adjusts his wings.

I consider Vigilance my most important bald eagle painting. It has the most dramatic qualities,
which is appropriate for what may be the most dramatic bird in North America.
Every day, the bald eagle must be vigilant to survive.
We too must be vigilant, every day, to protect.
Robert Bateman

The balance of nature is a story of life and death. Virtually all living organisms
depend on other organisms for food; in most cases, when something is eaten,
its life must end.Even the building of our homes or the printing of our
newspapers involves the death of trees and sometimes whole forests.
Too often we refuse to face this fact. We buy our meat neatly packaged in plastic;
in fact, our entire lives seem to be done up in neat packages.
We are often simply consumers, with less and less involvement in the real world,
decision making, or the consequences of our actions.
We can see this in the crisis of our forests,
our soils, our garbage and our pollution.This painting shows the tougher
side of nature, but it is nonetheless real and important. I found the
imagery very exciting. It gave me the chance to have fun with vivid colours
and the repetition of very strong forms, as shown in the skull, horns,
claws and beak. I think this is one of my more powerful and interesting works.
