Jen Weddle/submitted photo Muralist Andy Eccleshall of the Mural Works, Inc. used his talents to create this vision of a Great Gray Owl in flight on the Iron Grill Restuarant. The painting is based on a photograph that Paul Bannick, author of Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls took. This is the second nature-based mural that the Okanogan Highlands Alliance has brought to Tonasket.
