Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:

"The striped swallow is a bird found in Africa, but they are like swallows the world over. They are trim and streamlined, and they seem to be in motion even when at rest. Even though they seem delecate, they appear hard, almost as if they were sculpted out of metal. This perch appealed to me beacuse of its texture, its sculptural shapes and the way it echoes the form of the birds."
