Mural Design Scene

The seated ranchero anchors the composition at center. His broad sombrero and cobalt blue clothing stand out against ochre tones. Rocks ground his figure in a rustic setting. To the left, saguaro cacti rise tall with vertical rhythm. To the right, prickly pear pads spread horizontally, creating balance. Birds in black silhouette animate the sky with movement. A swirling cobalt frame unites the elements, enhancing folk-art style. Each tile carries bold brush lines that align seamlessly across the mural.
