Monday Mural: mystical communion


This new mural faces onto a freeway on ramp in downtown Oakland.  Ryan Montoya is a Mescalero Apache from southern New Mexico while Ernest Doty is a local artist who grew up in Albuquerque.  I look at the mural and think of curanderas, the tales of Don Juan, magic mushrooms, Salvador Dali, and science fiction.  And you?
