Mi Padre Sufre por una Vida Mejor para Mí

Oil on canvas, 2011, 54"w x 54"h x 4”d

A short narrative explaining the imagery within my abstraction:

My father
my rock,
my mountain,
60 years,
enduring back-breaking labors,
under the burning,
piercing rays of the sun,
nurturing my future,
granting me the opportunity,
to spread my wings,
bowing my head,
as I dance upon life,
his son,
his rooster.
