Hardwood Forest by Robert Bateman

 
Hardwood Forest - White-tailed Buck by wildlife artist Robert Bateman available from Prickly Pear Galleries.
  
"Unlike any other type of forest in the world, this one has striking seasonal variety - rich, leafy green in summer; vibrant red, yellow and orange in autumn; stark and snowy in winter and a lavish carpet of flowers in the spring. The three colorful seasons are so glorious that I find them easy to enjoy but hard to paint. My taste runs to muted colors as a general (but not invariable) rule.
 
"This scene depicts a wet day in November, depressing to many people but wonderful to me. The suede gray bark of the beeches has been stained to a dark, rich color by the rain but you can see their bleached leaves clinging to the twigs like fluttering Japanese prayer papers. The bark of the maples and oaks is almost undistinguishable except to a naturalist or forester. Their young saplings indicate that this is a climax community, a stable family of trees which can maintain and perpetuate itself for generations if allowed to do so. This is not the case with the birch trees, which cannot grow in their parents' shade.
 
"The white-tailed deer buck is in his prime. He is looking for does with which to mate or other bucks with which to fight. He is very cautious because this is hunting season." - Robert Bateman.
