Kite Runner Print by Sam Skelton

Enjoy the lively spirit of childhood with this nostalgic scene in this wallart print by Sam Skelton. Set against an industrial backdrop of mills and chimneys, a group of children gather in an open yard, their energy and imagination transforming the space into a place of play. A red kite dances in the sky above, held aloft by the wind and watched eagerly by the children below. Some chase a football across the ground, while others pause to look upward, drawn into the shared moment. The muted tones of the surroundings contrast beautifully with the warmth of the figures, highlighting the sense of joy found in simple pleasures. Balancing industry with innocence, this art print captures a fleeting, carefree moment within a working class life and industrial Glasgwegian landscape of the past. It’s a charming and evocative piece that brings warmth, nostalgia, and a sense of storytelling onto your walls.
