The Europe Hotel While I was painting this picture many people came to look at it. Among them was a peculiar man who kept pestering me to give him this picture. After that a nice guy came up and sent him away. When I finished the painting the nice guy invited me to his table in the lounge and bought me a beer. I promised him I'd make photo copies of pictures of 'The Crown' and 'The Europe Hotel' and post them to him.
