El Viejo – 8 in x 6 in – Egg Tempera on Panel
El Viejo representa el abuelo que nunca tuve y siempre quise tener. Que tristeza saber que en nuestra vida creciendo nunca hubo ese personaje que nos pudo guiar como solo un hombre saber hacerlo. Gracias a madres y tias especiales que con amor adenegado jugaron el papel de madre, padre, abuela y abuelo. Yo quiero ser un Viejo como este un dia. Que mis nietos pueden tener lo que you nunca goze.
(The Old Man is the grandfather I never had and always wanted. How sad to know that in our lives growing up we never had that character who could guide us as only a man knows how. Thank you for mothers and special aunts who with sacrificial love played the role of mother, father, grandmother and grandfather. I want to be this Old Man one day. That my grandchildren can have what I never enjoyed.)
