Wildlife Mural from Three Rivers

Here’s another mural from Three Rivers, California, and yet another one by artist Nadi Spencer. A few weeks ago, up here was a post on a mural called How Crow Became Black. That was a mural based on a story of the Native Americans who called this area home. If you remember that artwork, you might remember that it was a project done by the artist in collaboration with local students. This Wildlife Mural — as the artist refers to on her blog — too seems to have been a result of a joint effort.

Three Rivers a city on the foothills of the southern Sierras. As I was putting up the other mural, I learned that Three Rivers has a few of these art projects where the students of the town have added strokes, as part of an art program where students worked with professional artists.

Where to see this mural —

We were on the way to Sequoia National Park and had stopped for some gas when I spotted this mural. It was on the walls of Three Rivers Union School that was just across the road from the gas station.

Wildlife Mural by Nadi Spencer

I look at this mural and see redwoods, mountains that might as well be the mountains of the Sierra Nevada Range in California. I also see some other flora fauna that might be native to these parts. It was the red trunks of what might be the redwoods that stood out to me and in my mind, I’d labelled it Redwood mural. Later, as I looked up the author I found that she prefers to call it Wildlife Mural. And why not — there is a cougar some skunks, deer even bears in the mural. What do you see? And what did you spot first?
