Oil on canvas

The young boy wears a green sweater very similar to the one Villarreal owned as a child. He plays freely in his backyard proudly raising his home made kite up, up into the air. Unable to afford a store bought kite, he has fashioned his from a sturdy newspaper.

Mis Recuerdos is Spanish for “My Memories”.

From the Artist:  “The kite was an actual front page from the San Antonio newspaper that I photographed and painted!”
