- Papa – Ernest Hemmingway, 2021, Original Enamel on Aluminum Panel, 36″ x 48″ – Available
While in Key West recently, we visited Ernest Hemingway’s home, and the 30 cats, some with six toes roaming the joint as they owned it. Ernest was given one six-toed cat as a good luck gift way back when and they began multiplying from there. A complex, talented man that changed how many writers would execute their craft in telling a story. He also brought innovation to sport fishing, for example, developing a huge reel to help land the gigantic tuna, sailfish, and marlin that he loved to fish. Another was the act of backing up the boat while pulling in a fish, I’m guessing the sooner the fish got in the boat the sooner he could get to his favorite watering hole, Sloppy Joe’s. The new Ken Burns series on PBS did a great job of telling his story, there is so much to his story, check it out.
