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:

"I have shown this egret taking care of its plumes as its own adornments. This preening is not only important for beauty, it is also necessary for protection from rain and cold. I wanted to achieve a porcelain-like delicacy and transparency."
