The work
The story behind the artwork
Freedom, Focus and Strength—Captured in Colour
In Soul of an Eagle, Graham Watts brings the viewer face-to-face with a bald eagle whose focused gaze communicates intelligence, confidence and complete awareness.
Bold strokes of blue, golden yellow and fiery orange move through the eagle’s white plumage against a deep black background. Recognizable realism is balanced by expressive colour, giving the painting an almost mythical presence.
The Story Behind Soul of an Eagle
The bald eagle is an unforgettable presence along British Columbia’s coast, rivers and mountain valleys. Graham wanted to capture more than its appearance: the title reflects the focus, independence, resilience and freedom suggested by its expression.
The eyes form the emotional centre of the composition. Every surrounding brushstroke leads the viewer back to that direct, unwavering gaze.
