Jack Balas, 2019: MAURICIO (#1846); oil and ink on canvas, 20" x 16"

TEXT:
Mauricio drove up the other day with a crate from the airport. He didn't speak much English, but when he looked at the trees and the backyard I knew he was amazed. I told him to come have a beer in it sometime, but now I'm thinking of putting his name on the deed too.
