"Old Man and the Sea" by Ron Hauser	Thank you to the Staff of the Hemingway Home, Key West for having Ron finish the painting live and visit with his fans.

Ron was painting his vision of Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea" Ron had been working on this idea that Hemingway was thinking that he was the fisherman in the boat in his most successful novel.

Ron knowing that Marlin Fishing was Hemingway's best sport. The boat was a fifteen foot antique fishing skiff and the fish was eighteen feet long. They where in the worst storm and had been battling each other for two days while the shark was closely lurking, which was the ending of the book. Please note that Hemingway had three of his famous six toed cats accompanied with him.
