Return of the Eagle

I was so thrilled that Canadian Wildlife Magazine recently hired me to paint bald eagles returning to my hometown of Hamilton, ON, Canada. Once know only for its steel factories, the return of the eagles to Hamilton are a sign that the environment is back on track. They are the phoenix rising from the flames helping to restore balance to this ecosystem.

Here's the 2nd page of the article featuring the other wildlife in the ecosystem. With this illustration I inked the lines by hand and then added the colour digitally.
