The Sentinel is a quiet tribute to one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic trees, the Douglas Fir. Charles Cherry centers the towering evergreen in the composition, its silhouette rendered with delicate precision and layered green washes. Soft sky and subtle forest shadows provide a peaceful backdrop, allowing the negative spaces within the branches to glow with dappled light. The result is both majestic and meditative—a celebration of scale, structure, and serenity. With restrained color and thoughtful detail, Cherry captures the quiet grandeur of a single tree standing strong in its forest home.
