The bottom of the tree was a face. Sadly the bottom of the mural was covered in graffiti.

The trunk of the tree was gnarlly with a huge knot hole.

Signature

The signature for the eight murals was covered in two stickers. It might have been "Maitag W" or "Maltag N" or any of a dozen names. Searching for the obvious variations, yielded no success.
