Last year I visited Agrigento on the island of Sicily in Italy for the first time. I stayed at the bed and breakfast Luna Kina run by my friend Giovanni who also happens to collect my work. Giovanni was kind enough to show me around the whole week I was there. When we went to this small authentic Sicilian coffee shop I knew I had to paint it.

kind regards, Gerard

Progress pic of the coffee bar in Agrigento, Sicily painting. If you're wondering what that grey spot on the guy's shirt is doing there, well, I must admit my 6-year old daughter helped me out right there. ;)

It's been a while since I last posted, I was hard at work finishing Coffee Bean! I got lost painting all the little details, there really were a lot! But I loved painting every single one of them. On the painting you see a man sitting with a laptop behind a window of a coffeeshop. If you take a closer look you see another figure in the background left doing the exact same thing.

It seems people nowadays drag their computer everywhere. I always wonder why. Perhaps it's because they want to enjoy a cup of coffee and they feel insecure if they don't have something to play with when they're alone. In any case, it sure makes a great painting and I would love to hear your thoughts on this! The scene takes place somewhere in LA. I forgot the exact spot, but it's either in Hollywood or Santa Monica.

I'm going to take something like a summer recess. You know sleeping in a little and get my mind of painting for a while. Getting some new energy and come back totally charged up. Not sure how long I will be gone, I'm guessing a week, maybe two. That would be long enough!
