"I was honoured to be commissioned to do a painting which was to be the present of the Government of Canada to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales when he was married. The suggested subject of the painting was loons, which delighted me as they are among my favourite birds, with wonderful associations with the Canadian northland. Their ringing call is one of the north's most memorable sounds.
The setting of the painting is in Killarney Park in northern Ontario, and the pre-Cambrian quartzite cliff, the clear water and the plants and bushes are all very typical of this part of Canada

Robert Bateman - Not a Pretty Picture
Sign the petition at http://www.notankers.ca Robert Bateman takes a stand against the threat of oil spills on BC's coast. The BC and Canadian governments are supportive of bringing oil tankers to British Columbia's north coast. If this were to happen, spills would be inevitable, and the consequences on this wild and intact stretch of coast would be profound.

Robert Bateman at a Glance
Robert Bateman (naturalist)
Robert Bateman (born 1930-05-24) is a Canadian naturalist and painter, born in Toronto, Ontario.Robert Bateman Official Website: Biography Retrieved October 23, 2007 Even as a child he was interested in art and wildlife. He found inspiration from the Group of Seven, making abstract paintings of nature.Peninsula Gallery: Biography of Robert Bateman Retrieved October 23, 2007 It wasn't until the mid 1960's that he changed to his present style, realism.
Bateman was always interested in art, but he never intended on making a living from it. He was fascinated by the natural world in his childhood. As a child he recorded the sightings of all of the birds in the area of his house in Toronto.Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: the Life And Times of Robert Bateman Retrieved October 23, 2007 Although the stage was set for an expert wildlife artist, Bateman moved on to be a high school history teacher. However, he still painted in his free time. It wasn't until the 1970's and 1980's that his work started to receive major recognition. Robert Bateman's show in 1987, at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, drew the largest crowd a living artist has ever had there.
Bateman also has approximately ten books devoted solely to his paintings. Bateman's decision to produce reproductions of his paintings has been criticized by some who feel that the reproductions are "overpriced posters that cheapen the legitimate art market". The reproductions are popular items, being sold in over 500 stores in Canada and more internationally.
Today, Robert Bateman lives in Saltspring Island in British Columbia with his wife Birgit Bateman. Robert Bateman Secondary School in Abbotsford, British Columbia and Robert Bateman High School in Burlington, Ontario are named after him.
In 2005 Bateman volunteered for an assessment of chemicals present in his body that had a proven negative health effect. The assessment was sponsored by the organization Environmental Defence. 32 carcinogens, 19 hormone disruptors, 16 respiratory toxicants, and 42 reproductive/developmental toxicants were found in his body.Toxic Nation Report: Robert Bateman Retrieved October 23, 2007
