Forget the Beltway. Forget about Broadway. You can hit the Highway because I live at the Gateway! It's the Gateway to the Great Southwest Prairie.
Painted by internationally recognized muralist, Robert Dafford, the design of this mural is reminiscent of old theatrical stage curtains where merchants would place advertisements around a focal scene. Dafford's "architectural Illusion" is realistic enough to make one think that the wildflowers are there for the picking.

It is a really nice painting, isn't it? If you go walk through the fields, some of them still look the same as they are depicted here.
