Recently I was able to get inside the fence and get better and more complete photos of the courtyard mural at Ben Franklin Elementary School (19661 Orange Terrace Pkwy, Riverside, CA).

Construction is still occurring at the school so I had to take these photos from the adjacent sidewalk.

According to an Instagram post, the artist was Brian Peterson @brianpetersonart and the mural was completed in 4 days - pretty amazing.
