About this work

Painted right across the street from "La Floridita" a bar immortalized by Earnest Hemingway in Havana. I was ignorant of the bar's Location and importance - I had set-up my easel to paint the side street adjacent. Tour buses kept unloading "tourists" who rushed in to buy $20 Mojitos where Hemingway sat. The going price for a Mojito in Havana was about $2.00 everywhere else in town.
