This mural, on the wall of the Dr Pepper Museum, draws inspiration from generations of advertising, images, and art that have been associated with the soft drink industry, and the interplay of Americana with the Waco-origin of Dr Pepper. With a color palette referencing historic advertising, the mural evokes the passage of time; time well spent over a drink with friends, bringing people together, which is a common thread for advertising and also for the mural-making process.
