It is likely that the artists are Joey Koslik (@koslikdesign) and Patrick Barwinski (@mrbarwinski) who painted the neighboring mural.

The east wall of the parking lot for the Box Springs Mountain Reserve (next to 299 East Blaine Street, Riverside) sports a colorful new mural exhibiting flowers, plants and baskets. A few of the images are signed with initials or short names but overall, it is not clear who the individual artists were. The lead artist on the project was Serena Wilson, and there is a short article in the Press Enterprise about her work. The mural is quite large so I took a video so that the entire mural can be seen. It can be seen here on YouTube.
