Painting Description

When we first visited Key West in 1991, this small Victorian-style town was still a haven for former hippies and wackos. In those days it was a tiny carnival at the edge of the continent, the most southern point in the United States. Since then, each yearly visit surprises us with upgrades, improvements. The town is turning into a giant Sheraton Hotel. Real Estate prices have rocketed into the stratosphere. I enjoy early morning visits to a convenience store/coffee shop where a homemade sign proclaims of a popular beer, “Rolling Rock is not just for Breakfast anymore.” My first Cuban coffee of the day, along with the newspaper, provides an excuse to watch and enjoy the lovable rogues that gather at this fuel stop just off The Bight which is shown in this painting.
