1999 Earth Day Print
|
|
Beneath the waves lies the ancient realm of giants. Magnificent forests of kelp grow to 100 feet in length. Here, roaming in boundless rhapsody, is the largest predator on Earth - the killer whale.
"A mighty kelp forest waves and undulates in constantly changing patterns like a kaleidoscope. The sun glows through, and it seems lit from within. It is an important and overlooked natural world, and it is beautiful. In the hazy distance, a killer whale swims by." - Robert Bateman
71 percent of the Earth's surface is submerged underwater. For the first time in his distinquished artistic career, Robert Bateman has painted a view of this vast realm.
