This is one of three murals I created for Neckospeck nature center, acrylic on board. To see more of them, visit the Natural History Murals page. I currently take on small mural commissions like this one on a contract basis, pimarily in Michigan. Contact me for more details.

Though I hate having my picture taken, (especially in work clothes), this gives some idea of the size of the mural. I like including the newest data from fossil discoveries, so I put a red feathered crest on the raptor’s head.
