The Pacific Watchman captures the fierce and majestic presence of the American Bald Eagle standing guard over a wild coastal landscape. The eagle’s intense gaze symbolizes strength, freedom, and resilience. Expressive strokes on the feathers—especially across the top of the head—were created using a palette knife, adding bold texture and energy to the plumage. The same technique brings rugged realism to the ocean-worn rocks, enhancing the drama of the crashing waves and misty cliffs. Rich blues and earth tones draw the viewer into the raw, natural power of the Pacific coast.
