This was a really fun one to paint because of the active participation of the kids. It was painted in 1990 on the westside of San Antonio at the Mirasol Courts. Some of the kids that helped paint it lived at the residence where the mural was being painted. It was theirs to enjoy everyday. Sad to to say, though, that this mural is no longer there. A few years ago the city decided to make all the homes new and improved without trying to preserve all the murals found there including the mine. Thoughtless acts by soulless people.
This mural was one of three painted side by side. I'll post some of the other ones as soon as I can find the photos. I used to bring markers and paper so that the really young kids could keep making art if they got tired of working on the mural.
