Robert Bateman

Robert Bateman is one of our favorite artists.  He is Canadian, 88 years old and lives on Salt Spring Island, BC.  He opened a gallery in Victoria.  We visited just after it's opening in 2013 and Robert was there to autograph his book and let us take a picture.  It's a wonderful gallery and we are going over in the fall as it wasn't finished when we visited.

Here are some of his pictures.  The detail is amazing!
