Unlike the abundance of murals I found in the sleepy town of Fresno, Ca, Albuquerque’s murals and public paintings are few. The Barelas area of Fresno – a place mentioned to me as “the neighborhood where most ‘Cops’ episodes are shot in Albuquerque – showcases some wonderful Aztlan-esque paintings I’ve yet to photograph. For now, I’ll make due showing you a painting located on the Eastern side of the Nob Hill area. The black antelope (maybe Gazelle) on a pink background is simple and gorgeous. Artist is unknown.
