Papa Hemingway At Starbucks (click here to see my other art on eBay)

“PAPA HEMINGWAY AT STARBUCKS” by Tom Brown
FIGURATIVE DAILY PAINTING
6x8 Inches, Original oil, ready to frame

SOLD

I spotted this couple at a local Starbucks. The gentleman reminded me of Papa Hemingway, beard and all. I immediately knew I wanted to paint him and I grabbed one of my custom-designed paintboxes from the car -- a compact kit that looks similar to a small laptop computer.

I have found that I can work with this paintbox in my lap while sitting at an outdoor cafe and no one pays any attention. I appear to be just another laptopper working on the internet while having coffee. (I’m including a photo of my “laptop” kit for the benefit of other artists who check my blog.) I was in luck and this couple remained virtually motionless the entire time I painted this picture. I am pleased with how it turned out.
