Never judge a city from the first day. I painted all afternoon recieved many great responses, some food, and some money. I also had inquiries for 2 comissions... 1 of a chair in front of a fireplace... the other for a very pretty young woman's portrait. I also met another artist that asked if I be interested in showing my work in his gallery. Looks like I might be staying here a little longer... I do have to say this city is full of eye candy for my newest style of artwork.
On another note... I'm staying with 2 people I met on the train in an Islamic boarding house. I was a little uncomfortable at first. But there is no alcohol allowed and an 11pm curfue. I thought this might not be a bad idea for me. Now if I can keep hold of my passport and remember not to bring a painting of Jesus or Bush into the place... I think it will work out. They seem nice enough... and it is only 10 dollars a night... oh but a shower cost 4 bucks(bring your own soap and towel). Doh!
