About this painting

The story behind the image

A custom painting completed for my barista that he allowed me to share here. When he approached me about creating this painting, I couldn’t say no. He always has a smile – for his customers, for his colleagues – for everyone! It took a couple attempts to get a photo we were both happy with (photos behind the bar when he was cleaning up at night didn’t really capture his favorite part of his day).

The original

Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, 12 × 12 in (30.48 × 30.48 cm). One of a kind, painted by hand by Kristi Gray and finished with a UV-protective matte varnish.
