Monarca murals

Next up on the mural tour we're visiting Monarca Sunrise and Monarca II, a pair of butterfly murals on SE 49th, just south of Division. The RACC page for the sunrise one explains:

Above the horizon line the mural depicts a bright burst of sunlight against a sky filled with butterflies, and a field awash with sunflowers in perspective, below. The mural provides an attractive transition between an adjacent commercial business also featuring a mural by Hector Hernandez, and residential housing in the area.

The page for the second one continues:

This mural is an extension of the mural “Monarca Sunrise” painted by the same artist on the front of the building. The butterfly pattern that extends through the two murals adds continuity and unity with the next door mural “Urban Wellness,” also by Hernandez, in which the butterfly images continue playing an important role as a symbol of transformation. In this way the use of butterflies in this mural reinforces the metaphor of transformation at the dawn of a new day, and the wellness that such a new day could bring.

(And yes, I already posted about the Urban Wellness mural mentioned in the description.)
