One side of the mural is difficult to photograph, due to the trees in front of it, but it shows a rolling hillside with flowers and clouds on what appears to be a beautiful spring day.
A rock arch with a stone wall leads over to the other side of the mural. On the wall is "I hold that the best purpose of a garden is to give delight and to give refreshment of the mind to soothe, to refine and lift up the ?." Beyond the arch is another landscape, much flatter, with more clouds, as well as trees and flowers. Ivy crawls up one side of the arch.
On the arch itself, the artist identifies herself in a block that says "2007" and "Moya". A block showing the historic Frisco water tower -- a favorite subject of the artist's -- among older buildings, as well as a block showing a small train, flank a block that says "Frisco", which is decorated with leaves (it could be cotton). In the upper right is a block with "VAGF", identifying the Visual Arts Guild of Frisco. There are also inset blocks that say "Live", "Grow", "Work", and "Play".
Interestingly, much of the lower part of the mural has white space, where the kids can show up on Saturdays at 11 AM to finger paint. It looks like they've been pretty good about staying inside the white space and not getting the mural.
