Robert Bateman - Not a Pretty Picture
This is a video David sent me some time ago. I wish I'd put a link to it on this blog earlier. It is so relevant!
This is a very moving appeal by Robert Bateman, a brilliant artist, whom David has said is one of his main inspirations to becoming a wildlife artist.

This short video is all the more relevant given the recent events in the Gulf of Mexico.

Wonderful video made by the greatest living artist of the 20th and 21st century.
Robert Bateman, O.C. ( Order of Canada ) and O.B.C. ( Order of British Columbia ),was born in Toronto in 1930.
His achievements and charitable works are legendary and it is not only in the field of wildlife art in which he excels but in conservation too.
An absolute master at the canvas and to call his work 'breathtaking' is to do it an injustice.
DDW told me of Robert Bateman many years ago and in 2005 I saw a very limited number of his original works for the first time. DDW had not exagerated....

Just a quick note for those not too famaliar with the art of Robert Bateman. The various images at 0.18, 0.27, 0.34, 0.37 and 0.47 ( pod of Killer Whales ) are all the artwork of Robert Bateman, not photographic images. Absolutely breathtaking...

" I can't conceive of anything being more varied,rich and handsome than planet earth ; its crowning beauty is the natural world. I want to soak it up, to understand it... then I'd like to put it together and express it in my paintings.
This is the way I want to dedicate my life... "
Robert Bateman.
