Citron Apartments Rail Commuter Murals

A series of four flower-, citrus- and Riverside-themed murals have been painted on a wall behind the Citron Apartments (3661 Merrill Ave, Riverside, CA) and adjacent to the railroad tracks near Riverside Plaza.  They are most likely intended to be seen by Metrolink train passengers as they are not easily visible from nearby roads.  All four can be seen from an alley that goes along the wall.  The murals were painted by Southern California artist Damin Lujan @zaoone with support from @cdcdesigns and @vandaelehomes.  According to the artist's Instagram post, as one of the anti-graffiti workers painted over part of the fourth mural below by mistake, the worker said "this cholo does good graffiti".  



















Two of them (shown below) can also be seen from a more distant vantage point through the fence at the back of the parking lot for the Inland Valleys Association of Realtors (3690 Elizabeth St., Riverside).
