Reynaldo "Sonny" Rivera's monumental Bas-Relief captures the spirit of Bless Me Ultima and the history of Santa Rosa. Ultima blesses Antonio before he goes fishing. A truck chugs down historic Route 66, now I-40. On the Llano an old sheepherder cares for his flock as antelopes graze nearby. Ranchers and farmers, the original settlers, work the land. The railroad symbolizes a new era of commerce. From the hills flows the Pecos River, and in the waters swims the magical golden carp.
