Painted Trees Around Riverside

There are a number of dead denuded trees painted in bright colors at various locations around Riverside.  There are a couple on Victoria Avenue, one on Houghton Ave, just off of Market Street, one on Crowell Ave., one on Nixon and one on Jurupa Ave.  It is my understanding that they were painted by local artist Frank Heyming and his wife to demonstrate that many things can be art.  Here are some examples that I have come across on my bike rides. Someone decorates the one tree on Victoria at Christmas time and it appears for a wedding (July 2025). Update: Thanks to a comment left below, I was able to find another tree (photo a bottom) across from the entrance to Fairmount Park.
