Sunrise Over Oakland

This beautiful mural is still in progress, but it's coming right along. You can't see in these pics but there's charcoal lines on the sun and background that will eventually be the street map of oakland mirroring the oakland oak tree. This mural is by David Burke and his team. Unlike many of the other murals from the Oakland Mural Festival, this one is painted with brushes. But it's just as huge as the ones that use spray guns, so it takes this team much longer to complete. The bottom pic is another process shot from earlier in the process. 
This mural honors Oakland artists, poets, writers, and musicians. I know the woman on the far right is DJ Agana, an amazing woman street artist. I've featured her work on the blog many times. I don't knowthe others, but if you do, please share!
