The Guardian

The Guardian 20"x24" acrylic on canvas

This painting is somewhat of a companion piece to an older painting of mine, called "The Sentinel". I'd envisioned it after seeing an eagle on a piling at the wharf, and I liked the vertical, powerful, format. It certainly seemed to give the eagle some authority. The village where I live is predominantly native, and it seemed fitting to insert a totem pole, and the mist is a common feature of our coastal rainforest.

I hope you like it!

Cheers
