Product Description

I am very lucky to be able to experience the beauty of the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve. There is a lot of rain this year. The Reserve is very lush. Wild flowers are blooming which have not seem for years. So many waterfalls appear after the rain… I want to share my experience in this mural. It starts with the morning to noon and afternoon through sunset. The water and trails are connecting each element throughout. In this journey, I will take people go through the forest, creek, hills and lakeside. Each scenery will show the natural beauty of the flora and fauna.

The story starts with waterfalls in the middle of the lush forest right away. The visual of the waterfalls hitting the rocks, birds chirping, and the butterflies flying takes people right into a tranquility environment when people step out of the elevators. The first 2 panel are facing different direction from the rest of them, I want to carry the same setting to the panel 3 which creates an extended surrounding. These 3-panel service as a highlight.

Walking through the forest appear the mysterious and misty morning scenery of the mountain view. The hawk is flying high, the wild flowers are waiting for the sun come up. (Panel 4 to 5)

The trail lead to open grassland, the reflections of the water puddle indicate the rain from last night. A pair of raccoons are playing around the bushes. The sky is clearing up, the oak trees along the main path cast a lot of shadows, the deer stroll along as its homeland. (Panel 6 to 8).

From panel 9 to 14 is a continue scenery. I want to feature the main attractions: Oak Grove and Creekside. The Oak Grove is incredible thick forest! The huge and dense oak trees, tall green grass and endless poison ivy proved secluded and quiet surrounding. A coyote is wondering around, a raccoon is sleeping on the woods, and a pair red shouldered hawk are playing on the branch. A creek is running through the forest which is a haven for birds and mallards. The oak tree is solid and majestic, the creek is fluid and gracefully that create a contrast and natural beauty. (Panel 9 to 11) Cross the creek opens the road to the rocky hills. On top of the hill, the full afternoon view of the valley come to sight. The reflection of The Lake Poway is in the back ground. The sound of the waterfall can hear from far away. The moist from the waterfall is rising from the valley. The hawks and eagles are hovering the sky. The vibrant wild flowers are blooming in the foreground. The huge rock formation highlights the unique geological features in the Reserve. (Panel 12 to 14)

The mural ends with a stunning sunset view of Lake Romona. The perfect reflection of the mountains from the lake creates a calm and peaceful sanctuary.
