Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
By descent to the present Private Collection, Ontario
Notes:
In this luminous painting, a golden retriever rests peacefully in a sun-drenched field, capturing a moment of pure stillness and calm. Drawing inspiration from the quiet intensity of Andrew Wyeth and Alex Colville, Bateman’s work is deeply rooted in attentive observation and a profound emotional connection to place. Now based in rural Nova Scotia, he paints from intimate knowledge of his surroundings. This serene composition invites a meditation on stillness and the quiet beauty of being fully present. Alan is the son of renowned artist Robert Bateman.
