In addition to the seven artists, at least 200 volunteers took part in the creation of the mural in 2001. I hope you can share your appreciation for the mural with others so that the mural may live for a long time. Best, D. Ramos Aaron,

My mural theme is " Sacred Mother Earth First " , and this mural is almost completed . It must be seen to understand spirituality of the Earth people , all people especially the first Americans . The Jaguar in the painting is known as the " Underwater Panther ", a powerful spirit ally and protector of the children and the elderly and spirit warrior that is presently still working with and for the Great Spirit to protect the Mother Erth and its creatures. The Cosmic hands are the hands of the creator or the Great Grandfather spirit , who continues to watch over Mother Earth despite what humans do or try to do to harm her. The Jaguar is making a comeback to the United States . Several have been seen in Arizona and New Mexico . Many North American Tribes also consider The underwater Panther as the powerful spirit that causes earthquakes . Please see the latest mural . Thank You . Pablo C.

It's the north corner of Wacouta and 4th Street, the mural is on the southeast side of the building, facing Wacouta St. Unless it's come down in the past few months, that's where it is.

]]> Comment on Wolves by Wally Shoop by bruce church http://www.startseeingart.com/sculpture/wolves-by-wally-shoop/#comment-676 bruce church Sat, 20 Sep 2008 03:30:23 +0000 http://www.startseeingart.com/?p=67#comment-676 This seems to bring out the "calm wolf" in all of us. The look of closeness, and family this piece brings gives us faith in the spirt that is in the American people as a whole. Another fine statement from the artist.
