Robert Bateman Quotes

Children don’t play outside enough. For hundreds of thousands of years young people spent time outside - until 15 years ago Picture Quote #1

My art collection is dominated by tribal art from Nigeria where I taught school, from New Guinea where we’ve travelled, and by Canadian Haida pieces. My own art is either on exhibition or owned by other people! Picture Quote #1

I never thought that I would support myself with art - everyone in the Group of Seven had day jobs. I became a geography teacher so that I could get free field trips into the wilderness to paint Picture Quote #1

Blackwater USA has already taken in more than $1 billion from the public coffers. All in all, that’s not a bad take for Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater and a Naval Academy dropout who served less time under the colors of the nation, in uniform, than my most recent pair of boots Picture Quote #1

I got serious about painting at 12, when most people give up Picture Quote #1

Nature is not a free lunch, but we treat it as a free lunch Picture Quote #1

The most important question facing the planet is: Is it worth it? Picture Quote #1

I prefer to hike in nature, give lectures, or be with family when not working Picture Quote #1

If I ever have a conflict between art and nature, I let art win Picture Quote #1

I’ve never thought sitting around worrying helps anything, except to help shorten your life Picture Quote #1

I take two walks up hills each day, and bike ride each morning. I also have an exercise bike to increase my heart rate. My wife and I have been going to a personal trainer for weights and balance twice a week for 10 years. My balance has improved tremendously and the weights decrease my age. I only feel 52, not 82 Picture Quote #1

In art and science we are now in a delta, at the end of the long flow of progress. In a delta there is no clear direction but there may be many choices. The best we can do is to enjoy the choices that we have and to be genuinely and creatively eclectic Picture Quote #1

Art is challenging and frustrating but I don’t linger in it. I work on five paintings at a time so if I’m frustrated I put one down and begin another Picture Quote #1

Aesthetic pleasure is not to be taken lightly; it’s very important for the spirit and therefore the health Picture Quote #1

You begin paying more attention to what you’re seeing when you know the names... If you don’t know the names of plant and animal species that share your neighbourhood, you don’t care about them and can’t protect biodiversity Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t take more skill to paint hundreds of strokes rather than one right stroke but it takes more patience Picture Quote #1
