Train Burst Through Bricks
Stephanie Taylor used to be a Disney illustrator, so her train appears a bit cartoon-like. It is an idealized old steam train, that appears to have burst out through the brick of the museum.

The Artist's Signature

Bricks Did Not Match Bricks
The bricks of the mural appeared lighter than the bricks of the building. This difference was probably due to an overcast and rainy day. The colors would probably match better on a sunny day.
