The three murals were completed by Jean Goodwin and Arthur Ames in 1939. Commissioned by the WPA, they were painted in egg tempura on muslin over a gesso surface. The artists were assisted by Alloys Bohner, William McAulby, and Hazel Scheckler. Left to right, the panels represent three aspects of life in San Diego County - Recreation, Agriculture and Conservation.
The works above are thought to be studies for the much larger murals below.
