When they demolished the old Sunset House, they left part of the walls to serve as a retaining wall. The art wall mural is painted on this retaining wall.

This mural is a series of murals that starts with the name on the left, as you go around the corner there is a pair of hands with a tree with crosses hanging in it. Next comes cactus and a bluebird, a garden of colorful flowers gives way to a deer with antlers, the words "Howdy Ya'll" above a yellow rose, then the outline of Texas colored like the Texas Flag. A mockingbird sits on the edge of the flag. Next comes a longhorn, followed by more colorful flowers. The next panel is of the earth on a blue background with white flowers boarding it on the bottom.
This brings you to another corner which is done in yellow background with blue flowers. The cow shown is not painted on the wall, it is a cutout leaning against it.
Next comes a wood fence with a child sitting on it with a dog below. Next are three men leaning against the fence. Then three Herford cows and a woman seated on the fence. Next to the fence is a horse in a stable. The sunflowers merge with the stable and take up the next section as you turn the corner.
The flowers end at another corner where there is a man behind bars. As you turn the corner you see a row of buildings from Clifton's past. The buildings (and the mural) end with the Quilt Shop where the retaining wall again turns a corner.

Recently residents of both Sunset Home and Rainbow Retirement Center have been expressing their creativity in new ways with the introduction of painting on canvas and mural painting. The mural art wall is a project spearheaded by a staff committee and residents of Rainbow Retirement Community.
