Murals along I-19 near Valencia

Just north of the Valencia exit from I-19 is a neighborhood full of murals along Calle Pinta (which follows just to the east of I-19) and the streets that join it. To get there, take Valencia east from the I-19 junction. Take the first left (head north) onto S. Santa Clara Avenue. Then the fourth left will be S. Santa Maria Street. Drive west until the road reaches Calle Pinta and makes a right turn to parallel the freeway. Here's the first mural you'll see:

Look to the left at the sound wall next to I-19 for two pairs of mosaic murals:

The rest of the murals are to the east side of Calle Pinta. Some are on the side streets that join Calle Pinta:
