Ravens are one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet, the highly intelligent Corvidae family, rivalling great apes and dolphins. For many indigenous cultures, the raven is a powerful symbol of creation, knowledge and transformation. Ravens are magical creatures, able to take the form of humans, animal, even in adamant objects. They are the keeper of secrets, often known as a trickster figure due to its mischief and curiosity. Ravens are also seen as a creative and cunning helper to the creator who can shape shift and bring important messages for humans. Like homo sapiens, ravens plan for the future, have exceptional memories, particularly for faces and past events. Living in complex, social groups, ravens can recognize individuals and remember relationships. Ravens engage in complex, social behaviors, such as tactical deception and comforting others after conflicts, families are formed and they stick together. With a large repertoire of distinct calls, ravens can communicate a wide range of messages. They are also skilled mimics, able to imitate various sounds, including human speech. Ravens are known throughout the world as messengers, and tricksters. Nature’s Scene is a family business and approaching 50 years. I am excited to release these tow Raven pieces, a transformative new beginning we have all been hoping for.

Biography

Robert Bateman has been called the most famous living artist. He continues to paint and tour the world to promote conservation and preservation of nature. We have represented Robert Bateman for decades and are now the sole publisher and distributor of his reproductions. We are so honored to work with him and witness his success. He has made such a massive contribution to the art world and the natural world as an artist and educator of the earth’s most important resources.

Nature as a subject is becoming more and more popular as our environment is in peril. What better subject is there than the beautiful creatures we share this world with? Robert Bateman’s appreciation and understanding of nature are apparent in his paintings. He is able to paint flora and fauna the way your eye would perceive it in real life. It is important that the animal takes full attention. The background becomes muted, and therefore it doesn’t take too much focus away from the subject. His paintings seem effortless and masterful all at once.

Bateman’s eye for composition is unparalleled. Each painting is a composed like a symphony, leading the eye to wander. From the backyards of North America to the sprawling plains of Africa. Robert Bateman captures nature the way it should be enjoyed. Above all he is a champion of wildlife. For this reason he has become a household name for art collectors.

“As a species, Canis lupus has adapted to a variety of habitats, including completely open country. Arctic wolves live on the treeless tundra, and the Eurasian subspecies may live on grassy steppe or Israeli deserts. Timber Wolves are generally associated with vast virgin forests, as in this painting in which I have shown a pack of wolves cautiously emerging from big timber.

As a culture, wolves live communally and teach their young. They are a culture whose lifestyle has evolved in deep forests in need of those vast undisturbed tracts of old trees in order to survive, but the destruction of the forests in the past few decades has far surpassed that of previous centuries.  Let us hope that we can find alternative sources of fiber and protect these large areas of old growth forests and the wolves which inhabit them.”

If we can save some forests, it will benefit not only the wolves, but future generation of man.” – Robert Bateman

“In a sense, this is a painting of wild apples which also happens to have a cardinal in it. I actually conceived the idea many years ago as one piece. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the cardinal’s popularity, I have limited myself to doing very few cardinal paintings. I have done a winter cardinal, a spring cardinal and a female cardinal (after all, one-half of the cardinals in the world are female). I cannot decide whether this is a summer or an autumn cardinal. Perhaps I will consider it late summer since I already have an idea for a painting of an autumn cardinal.

I chose apples to divert your eye from the cardinal, which is a blatant bird to say the least. It is one of my favourite birds, but it is very obvious, so I wanted to give it some competition with a few spectacular and juicy apples.

These apples were growing on my favourite apple tree in Ontario. This is a unique tree producing fruit unlike any I have tasted — sweet, aromatic, crisp, juicy and almost totally lacking in sourness . . . just to my taste.

All domestic apple trees come from grafting, not seeds. Every McIntosh apple comes from generations of twigs grafted from one tree on Mr. McIntosh’s farm near Toronto. It was a genetic sport or freak which had great success. My tree is also a genetic freak, but it will remain forever wild with its unsprayed and blemished fruit. I am reminded of the lyrics of singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell’s song, The Big Yellow Taxi. . . “give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees.” – Robert Bateman

David Grieve lives in Brantford Ontario with his wife and three sons. This is an area with a lot of sprawling farmland and forests which is where David finds his muse. He will often focus on lone trees in farm fields. Usually a tree changing color, when it is in its most vibrant state. His bright palette reflects the rich tones of a countryside that is changing constantly. The family cabin and studio also provides inspiration. David’s paintings of cottage country are very popular. Towering pines and luminous shorelines are some of David’s best work.

David’s rural scenes capture Southern Ontario and beyond with a multi-layered approach and a broad brush. He uses thick strokes of oil paint in an impressionistic translation of a landscape. David rarely cleans his brushes. As a result he achieves dramatic, chunky swaths of paint. This is the style that he is loved for.

Throughout his painting career David received numerous awards and scholarships. His solo and group exhibitions have entered into public and commercial galleries in the U.S. and in Canada. David is represented by Nature’s Scene in Canada. You will find his work in many galleries in North America.
