This mural takes viewers on a journey through the seasons in the Okanogan Highlands. Starting on the south end of the building, viewers find themselves immersed in bright green foliage, with a blanket of wildflowers – it’s early summer in the highlands. Continuing toward the east, the changing hues give a clue to subtle changes in season, until suddenly you find yourself in the oranges and yellows and deep greens of fall — amongst forests of aspen, larch, and conifer. Turning the corner to the back of the building, fall turns to winter, where creatures of the snow bound through drifts and sit on the bare branches. Stepping back, you see huge vistas, and the familiar profile of distant mountains; stepping forward, you see the flora and fauna of the meadows, forests, and lakes of the Okanogan Highlands.
There is so much to see in this mural that wraps around all four sides of the Community Cultural Center of Tonasket — it is really best to see for yourself!
