McManus Mural Made by Many

A very colorful story as I went out to cover two groups of art students create a mural on the buildings of McManus Elementary School Wednesday. The students were from Pleasant Valley High School and Chico State art majors. They worked together to paint a very bright and colorful mural with a puzzle and animal theme. It looked really nice and is one of the largest murals in town. I love images that have so much color in them. The sun was overhead positioned as a backlight to the subjects leaving not the best conditions for images, but the colors still really came out.
