    In the mural,"Going to the Olympics" the painter Frank Romero portrays a wide variety of colors in his painting. The first thing I saw in the painting were most obviously the cars passing by with big hearts over them. This means that the drivers loved their cars maybe and loved to drive around Los Angeles. You can also see palm trees and the ocean behind the cars signifying that they're somewhere around Los Angeles where there is water.
