Created for Texas Co-op Power magazine, this illustration accompanied an article on the rise and decline of Eagle Springs, Texas. The artwork depicts an abandoned church now surrounded by wildflowers, symbolizing the once-thriving community and how nature has since reclaimed the site. Rendered in a vintage-inspired style, it conveys both the history of the town and the quiet resilience of the landscape.
