Robert Bateman's "Peregrine Falcon And WhiteThroated Swifts" limited edition print. 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: "In this painting, I have shown a tousled, almost opulent meadow with several species of grass. The wind has imposed a rhythmic pattern to it, and it seems, like the kestrel, to be in motion while in repose. I have designed the painting to have the kestrel streaking in from the top left in hot pursuit of the grasshopper. The swishy wave action of the grasses carries the motion across the picture, with the dark green in the lower right creating the diagonal tension." - Robert Bateman
