Product description
Freedom, focus and strength—captured in colour
The eyes command your attention first.
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, creating energy against the deep black background. The recognizable realism of the bird is balanced by expressive colour, giving the painting an almost mythical presence.
This one-of-a-kind original was created for a collector who connects with the eagle’s independence, vision and strength—and wants a painting that brings those qualities into a room.

The story behind Soul of an Eagle
The bald eagle is a familiar and unforgettable presence along British Columbia’s coast, rivers and mountain valleys. Its combination of physical power, patience and extraordinary vision makes it one of Canada’s most compelling wild animals.
With this painting, Graham wanted to capture more than the appearance of an eagle. The title Soul of an Eagle reflects the inner qualities suggested by its expression: focus, independence, resilience and freedom.
The eyes form the emotional centre of the composition. Every surrounding brushstroke leads the viewer back to that direct, unwavering gaze.
The black background removes all distractions, while bold blues, yellows and oranges animate the eagle’s feathers. The result combines detailed observation with expressive colour, creating a portrait that feels alive, powerful and deeply individual.
How Soul of an Eagle works in a room
At 30 × 40 inches, the painting has substantial presence while its vertical format allows it to work on walls that cannot accommodate a wide landscape.
Dominant colours
- Deep black
- White and soft grey
- Cobalt and electric blue
- Golden yellow
- Fiery orange
- Warm brown
Mood
The painting feels focused, powerful and uplifting. Its direct gaze creates confidence and intensity without making the artwork feel aggressive.
Suitable spaces
Soul of an Eagle would work particularly well:
- Above a fireplace or console
- In an entranceway or stair landing
- In a contemporary living room
- In an office or executive workspace
- In a Whistler or mountain property
- Against a white, grey, charcoal or natural wood wall
- As part of a Canadian wildlife collection
The black background works beautifully with modern neutral interiors, while the brighter colours provide a strong connection to warm wood, leather and colourful accent pieces.
Lighting
Indirect natural light will reveal the variations in the eagle’s feathers and expressive brushwork. A warm-neutral picture light will strengthen the gold and orange highlights while preserving the cooler blue passages.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Canvas and presentation
Soul of an Eagle is painted on a substantial 1½-inch-deep gallery-wrapped canvas.
The edges are finished in black, giving the painting a clean, contemporary appearance. It can be displayed without a traditional frame, although a simple black or natural wood floating frame would provide a more formal presentation.
The original includes hanging wire and is ready to display. It is signed on the front and signed, titled and dated on the reverse.
