Robert Bateman Pictures picked!

I know this took a while, but I have finally picked the pictures to be studied that were painted by Robert Bateman. This took a while, as Robert Bateman has created MANY beautiful and important pictures.

I have tried to select pictures that are available for viewing online (although still copy-protected) - that show various types of subjects, and ones that are often thought of if you talked about Robert Bateman.

Please check out the pictures at http://www.robertbateman.ca/ (note that you will need to look around on the site to find each picture.

I couldn't decrease it from 8 pictures.... you will have to make the final 2 cuts....

I selected...
  1. Giant Panda
  2. The Return - Bald Eagle
  3. Power Play - Rhinoceros
  4. Watching Siberian Tiger
  5. Wolf Pair in Winter
  6. The Challenge - Bull Moose
  7. Ice Berg and Hump Back Whale (the style on this is a bit different)
  8. Polar Bear Profile.

  2. Hi Jeanne - I'm thinking "guddle" must be an aussie phrase - I assume you are going to have a good look later?

    Robert Bateman is a phenominal nature artist - and will be the featured artist probably a few times. That website has just a few of his pictures. Actually, I may just have the kids view his paintings with other subjects.... for instance, he has paintings of a huge number of birds - so fantastic while we are reading the bird book!

    He is a Canadian artist, so is probably known more in Canada, although I think he is known in the United States and England as well. He strongly promotes nature (as you can imagine.)
