ROBERT BATEMAN Watchful Repose - Black Bear
	paper	950 signed and numbered	20" x 25.5"	$675
Black bears have a mixed relationship with humans. To our eyes, they are alternately dangerous, lovable and a nuisance. To their eyes, we are to be feared, ignored or exploited. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Watching - Siberian Tiger
	lithograph	250 signed and numbered	24" x 30"	$2000
Every cat lover knows that even within the biggest cats, there still lurks the heart of a kitten, and Bateman's model was no exception. Said the artist, "Like a kitten, he would dash at imaginary prey, then suddenly stop, lie down and roll over." - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Weathered Branch - Bald Eagle
	paper	950 signed and numbered	8" x 10.5"	$370
The bald eagle has been returning to many of the areas where it formerly flourished. Persistent pesticides contaminated its food chain and destroyed its breeding success. Now that we have phased out some of these poisons, the eagle has a chance to flourish once more, but it must be reintroduced with a great deal of care and expense. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Brested Nuthatch on a Beech Tree
	paper	950 signed and numbered	11 .75" x 15.75"	$450
This little "upside-down" bird is a favorite of everyone who knows him. He is constantly checking all the cracks and crevices of tree trunks and branches. He makes use of every possible body angle to reach those hard to get at places. He seems never to rest. I don't recall seeing a nuthatch in repose. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Crowned Sparrow in Douglas Fir
	paper	4500 signed and numbered	10" x 6.5"	$75

ROBERT BATEMAN White Encounter
	paper	950 signed and numbered	20.25" x 27.25"	email price request
	giclee canvas	290 signed and numbered	31" x 42"	$1450
	giclee canvas	99 signed and numbered	42" x 56"	$2495
What if, traveling the arctic, you entered a blowing snow drift and, unknown to you, a polar bear entered from the other side? By the time you both knew this, it would be too late. This painting is the way I expressed the discovery. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Footed Mouse Drawing
	paper	950 signed and numbered	5.75" x 7.75"	$195
The white-footed mouse is one of my favorite mammals. They like to take advantage of man's cottages and cabins, but their real place is in the hardwood forests. They produce a labyrinth of runways and tunnels in the rich litter of the forest floor. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Footed Mouse in Wintergreen
	paper	950 signed and numbered	7.25 x 8.75"	$525
This mouse is a fully mature adult in his two-tone brown and white. He is where he belongs, in the woods. The entrance to one of his burrows is graced with a clump of fragrant wintergreen. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Footed Mouse on Aspen
	paper	950 signed and numbered	8.25 x 9.25"	$600
Mice are much maligned. The vast majority are cleaner and more fastidious than most of us humans. I like mice very much. They are attractive and delicate with soft fur in a variety of colors. They are industrious and quite intelligent. They don't exhibit the laziness and cruelty sometimes found in man's favorite pets. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White on White - Snowshore Hare
	paper	950 signed and numbered	9.25" x 18.75"	$720
This painting presented a challenge. In order to make the animal stand out, the logical place to put it would have been in front of the dark vegetation, but I thought it would be more interesting to paint the hare as nature had intended it - white on white. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White Pelican
	paper	950 signed and numbered	9.25" x 11"	$60

ROBERT BATEMAN White Rhinoceros from the Sappi Portfolio

ROBERT BATEMAN Whitetail in Winter
	paper	950 signed and numbered	13.5" x 32.25"	$195

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Tailed Deer Through the Birches
	paper	10,000 signed and numbered	21.75" x 29.75"	$330
This white-tailed buck, moving behind the slender trunks of birch trees, sighted you long before you spotted him. I know a lot of people might ask, Why paint a nice deer and then put all those branches in front of it?" but that is how you see them in the wild. I also like the veiled effect of the delicate verticals of the birches before the deeper horizontal planes of the painting. In Through the Birches, I tried to create the illusion of a screen of tree trunks, branches, twigs, leaves and grasses, allowing the viewer to discover this handsome white-tail. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White-Throated Sparrow and Pussy Willow
	paper	950 signed and numbered	8.5" x 15.5"	$375
The white-throated sparrow is more than a mere sparrow for those of us who love the wilder places within its territory. There is magic, which, like the loon, is probably associated with its high, clear call. The white-throated sparrow is a modest-looking bird, but with a subtle beauty. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN White World - Dall Sheep
	paper	950 signed and numbered	22 x 19.75"	$540
Around the corner of the high mountain pass comes the procession. It is a surprise. It is very unusual to find travelers in the rugged upper elevations at this time of year. The big old ram is leading a group of males from one valley feeding area to another. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Wide Horizon - Tundra Swans 1990 National Fish and Wildlife Stamp Print
	paper	signed and numbered	6.5" x 9"	$190

ROBERT BATEMAN Wide Horizon - Tundra Swans Premier Edition
	paper	950 signed and numbered	19.75" x 29 .25"	$820
	lithograph		11" x 15.5"
In this painting, I have shown the male standing guard and the female sheltering the downy, newly hatched cygnets. Since the purpose of this painting is for conservation and environmental work, I wanted to show the "on guard" stance and the hope embodied in the coming generation. The tundra swan is a recent name given to the whistling swan; the new name is far more appropriate. First of all, these birds do not whistle. Their cry is a kind of sonorous, clarion-like yodel; secondly, they do live almost entirely on the tundra regions of North America during the breeding season. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Wildebeest
	paper	950 signed and numbered	20.25" x 24.75"	$180
The wildebeest, or brindled gnu, is an odd creature. It is said to have been made up of all the bits and pieces which the Creator had left over after He created all of the other animals. It has the face of a mule, the horns of a cow, the beard of a goat and the body of a horse. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Wildebeests at Sunset
	paper	500 signed and numbered	21" x 27.75"	$800
One evening in Amboseli Park in Kenya, on our way back to camp we saw in the setting sun a big herd of wildebeests drawing together for the night. I was impressed by the mellowness of the mood and by the light and color - a kind of liquid gold over everything just before the sun dropped below the horizon. When I was doing the painting, I experimented with different sizes and places for the sun; finally I put it just off the classic dynamic point of the rectangle of the painting. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Willet on the Shore
	paper	950 signed and numbered	13.5" x 18.5"	$195
I am inspired by the shape and lighting of waves. It is a challenge to paint them without being trite. I tried to achieve this by studying the physics of the water. The constantly shifting shapes have taken on powerful sculptural forms. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Wily and Wary - Red Fox
	paper	950 signed and numbered	23.25" x 17.5"	$1240
The red fox population expanded as man moved into the forest with his clearing. It has thrived and has won a reputation for wiliness and opportunism. His unending appetite for mice has made the fox of great benefit in farmland, but his taste for domestic fowl has made him enemies among farmers. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Window into Ontario
	paper	950 signed and numbered	17.25" x 33"	$960
	giclée canvas - renaissance edition	180 signed and numbered	20" x 40"	$1195
	giclée canvas - renaissance edition	99 signed and numbered	36" x 72"	$1685
Nature is a chronicle; one view shows the present, the past and the future. The snake or zigzag style of the fence - built from white cedar from a nearby swamp - is the quickest and easiest for a pioneer to build. These wide fencerows form an excellent wildlife habitat. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Windtalkers
	paper	950 signed and numbered	22" x 22"	$165
	giclee canvas	180 signed and numbered	30" x 30"	$795
	giclee canvas	50 signed and numbered	36" x 36"	$950

ROBERT BATEMAN Winged Spirit - Snowy Owl
	paper	950 signed and numbered	7.75" x 6.5"	$450
The snowy owl is a bird with great charisma. They seem to be a fragment of the high arctic. They also seem to bring with them some of the mystery and aura of the far north. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Barn
	paper	950 signed and numbered	11.5" x 19.5"	$420
This painting was done as part of a project to depict the natural and human heritage of the country in which I live. This moment should seem to be the result of physics, chemistry, biology and history, which have all come together to produce this combination of forms, colors and textures. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Barnyard
	paper	250 signed and numbered	14.5" x 32.5"	$285
The barn with its cattle symbolizes for me a wonderful era in the relationship of man to man and man to animal. The Europeans who came to North America found the wonderful white pines in abundance. They were easily worked with a broad ax into strong, straight beams which could be joined by mortise and tenon. The planks on the outside came from the same pines, and the base of the barn was made of field stones which usually were part of the clearing process. The whole building was like a living thing that literally "breathed" with animals below and a well ventilated and flexible hayloft above. The legendary barn building "bees" were part of the fiber of the rural community where everyone - men, women, and children- had a part to play in an unselfish social, communal effort. It was humanity at its best - great work and great fun at the same time. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Blues - Blue Jay
	paper	950 signed and numbered	5" x 7"	$85

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Cardinal
	paper	950 signed and numbered	15.75" x 9.5"	$2190
	giclee on archival board	350 signed and numbered	18" x 12"	$1495
Almost hidden under the rootlets and grasses of a road bank, this cardinal fluffs his plumage for warmth. The weak winter sun touches the grasses and sets alight the tips of his vermilion feathers. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Cattails - Red-Winged Blackbird
	paper	950 signed and numbered	17.5" x 11.75"	$145

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Coat
	paper	1250 signed and numbered	17" x 22.75"	$245
The self-reliance of a family farm has been part of humanity for millennia. We might see it all but disappear from North America in our lifetime. We are building an artificial world which even protects us from the seasons. Our ancestors lived by them and thus had the satisfaction of appreciating the variety that nature has to offer. The winter coat on the horse and on the land are part of this precious and eternal cycle. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Companion
	paper	950 signed and numbered	13.75" x 20"	$895
For an outdoorsman, his dog is the ideal companion. The dog races out to lead the way with great confidence, even if he doesn't know which way his master if going. That is why I have shown this view in the painting. It is the normal view the outdoorsman has of his companion. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Elm - American Kestrel
	paper	950 signed and numbered	14.5" x 32.75"	$930
The kestrel is our smallest falcon, which formerly bore the name of sparrow hawk. He is not much bigger than a well-built robin, but he is a fast, fierce hunter. This scene inspired me because the strong, rhythmic lines of the elm branches divide the snowy hillside into interesting white shapes. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Filigree
	paper	9600 signed and numbered	20.5" x 30.75"	$320
A few years ago, my wife, Birgit and I were treated to a rare privilege. We were permitted to visit the panda reserve at Wolong in the Szechwan Province of China. Panda country is surprisingly like our own British Columbia with rugged topography and old-growth forests. Our goal was the research hut of George Schaller. During the years 1980 to 1985, he put the giant panda on the map. As we neared the Schaller hut, the huge, old-growth trees were covered with the freshly fallen snow of the previous night. One tree in particular caught my eye. Every delicate strand had captured snowflakes and hoarfrost. It seemed an appropriate setting, with its delicacy and drama, for the symbol of our fragile web of life and the giant panda. Habitat destruction due to logging and agriculture is the major threat to the panda. And, poaching may be the last straw. This sums up the plight of our entire natural heritage. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Gathering - Horse Herd
	paper	950 signed & numbered	17.5" x 31"	$195
	giclee canvas	350 signed and numbered	23" x 40"	$895
Silhouetted against the snow, horses gather in a work of art as timeless as the mountains fading into the distance. “Horses have shared the history of humankind since earliest times. My mother was born into a world where horses were virtually the only form of land transportation other than using one’s own legs. Those days are now past in almost the entire world. However, horses still have a place as a satisfying form of outdoor recreation. Great enthusiasm for the breeding and keeping of horses in many parts of rural North America remains to this day. “I saw this scene while driving through British Columbia ranchland one atmospheric winter day. The farmer had unloaded hay in a line from his tractor. This concentrated the feeding horses in a longitudinal clump. Since my abstract painting days, I have been attracted to black and white interlocking shapes reminiscent of the work of Franz Kline. That, to me, created the power of that central cluster of horses which I see as almost one form.” — R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter in the Mountains - Raven
	paper	950 signed and numbered	18" x 20.75"	$880
The raven is not very endearing in the mind of the public. However, I really appreciate the raven. This is partly because of its association with the wilderness. Ravens are almost never found in the area where I grew up. On those special occasions when I would be able to go into the wild, the call of the raven would often signal my arrival. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Lady - Cardinal
	paper	950 signed and numbered	11.5" x 15.25	$1240
I wanted to give this painting an elegant, feminine quality. I deliberately made it flat and decorative, like a piece of tapestry or oriental fabric. Most of the colors are pastel with a delicate overall pattern, which I felt was appropriate for this winter lady. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Mist - Great Horned Owl
	paper	950 signed and numbered	33.5" x 20"	$500
I painted this great horned owl on a diagonal branch to give it a dynamic thrust. The clump of beech leaves at the top of the picture is to emphasize the same effect. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Pine - Great Horned Owl
	paper	1250 signed and numbered	24.75" x 19.75"	$160
Owls have long been creatures of myth and mystery. The ancient Greeks associated them with Athena, the goddess of wisdom - hence the expression "wise as an owl." In other cultures they have been held in awe or viewed with fear. Sometimes they are seen as heralds of victory or harbingers of good luck; at other times they are thought of as ill omens foretelling disaster. The aura of mystery surrounding owls is heightened by two of their characteristics: the fringed feathers at the ends of their wings allow them to fly almost soundlessly, and, with a few exceptions, they are nocturnal and therefore often very difficult to see. The largest of our owls, the great horned owl, is a creature of the dark night and the deep forest that nests up high, usually in an abandoned hawk's nest or in a tree cavity. I have spent many hours searching for this fierce hunter, which will catch and eat birds as large as a small goose and mammals as fleet as the snowshoe hare. It also dines on porcupine and skunk. If I'm lucky, a noisy mob of crows especially reprehensible. (They have good reason for this, since by night crows become one of this owl's prey.) If they find a great horned owl trying to take a nap, they wild scold it relentlessly. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Pond - Mergansers
	paper	950 signed and numbered	18" x 24"	$165
Whether illuminated only by distant stars in the heavens or by the fading winter light of the nearest star, Bateman's subjects reveal the wonder of nature. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Reflections
	paper	650 signed and numbered	22.75" x 30.25"	email price request
	giclee canvas	180 signed and numbered	30" x 40"	email price request
	giclee canvas	50 signed and numbered	36" x 48"	email price request

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Run - Bull Moose
	paper	1950 signed and numbered	16.25" x 32.5"	$220
This moose has been browsing his way through a willow swamp. The gentle snow of the night before has settled on every little twig. In fact, a few flakes are still falling, creating a counterpoint of dedicate white tracery against the powerful planes of the moose's form. The tranquility of this scene is short-lived, however. For some reason the bull moose decides to charge in my direction. At the very last moment he veers off, giving me a baleful glance as he thunders past. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter - Snowshoe Hare
	paper	950 signed and numbered	13.5" x 21"	$1200
From under the spruce tree the snowshoe hare peers in his "freeze" pose. His world is full of enemies. His kind provides an important element in the diet of all of the carnivores in the northern forest. When his population falls, the population of his predators also declines. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Song - Chickadees
	paper	950 signed and numbered	12.75" x 9.5"	$490
Chicka-dee-dee-dee, chicka-dee-dee-dee is the call in the garden and the woodland that warms the coldest winter day. These bouncy balls of fluff always seem happy and full of energy. Here I have tried to keep in tune with their mood by showing the bright red high-bush cranberries and the white pine needles bursting through the clumps of snow. - R. B.

ROBERT BATEMAN Winter Sunset - Moose
	paper	950 signed and numbered	19.5" x 28.75"	$3350
	giclee canvas	180 signed and numbered	28" x 42"	$1750
Here I have shown a Bull Moose about to cross a beaver dam in early winter; the pond has not yet frozen. Besides portraying a mood of time and place, the interesting challenge, for me, was to show the textures and colors of the water, ice and snow. They are all H20, yet their physical properties do different things with light. - R. B.
