Peter Built a Truck for Him to Drive



yes finally I am posting new work. I've been in the studio improving my craft(something I expect to always do). I have my new mentor to thank on this front. Dr. David Chang has been a wealth of knowledge, from paint handling to supposedly simple things like cleaning my palette. I am very grateful.

This painting that I have not titled yet (Trucks in the Jungle, maybe?) will be showcased at my alumni show at The Art Institute of Miami in April. More to come soon. Thanks

They divorced when I was three, in New Jersey. Immigrants, scraping by with hard work and blue-collar jobs. My father took whatever work he could find, mostly driving trucks. The communists in Cuba had torpedoed any real chances for future success in the United States. My two brothers and I ended up on public assistance. Then my mother started dating another man, and that’s when the real chaos began. Drugs and alcohol stormed into our lives, ushering in years of domestic violence, drama, and constant moving. New schools, new roach-infested apartments every six months. One day, a neighbor had a garage sale. We couldn’t afford much, but my eyes lit up when I saw a trunk full of draw...
