The
Peralta Hacienda Historic Park is the last remaining parcel related to a vast land grant that once included most of the East Bay. As part of their education program is a series of murals showing the annual cycle of life on the rancho. They were painted by Maren Vanduyn and installed in 2007. She collaborated with the Friends of
Peralta Hacienda Historical Park’s executive director and
Ohlone culture bearer Linda Yamane to conceive the murals.
While there are too many to present here, this close-up gives you a feeling of the detail included in the mural sequence.

While the mural is nice...I want that longhorn skull!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mural! I love the details and the painterly style.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
Fabulous. And the skull is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteNice pictorial history, but I, too, is impressed by that skull!
ReplyDeleteSo unusual and well executed.
ReplyDeleteThe mural scene belongs to the past and is no longer in existence except in the mind and brush of the artist. I'm glad we have them to give us peek at time gone by.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done! It really is a good thing that past traditions are being captured in murals everywhere - our way of life is rapidly changing and our young have no idea of the difficulties faced just a short time ago!
ReplyDeleteA very nice historic mural, so beautifull painted with so much details.
ReplyDeleteVery nice mural. I like it when they're historical. :)
ReplyDeleteA great way to get the story across!
ReplyDeleteThese are well done murals. Hope all is well, Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that it's the awesome horns that caught my eye first!
