Hello !
In 3 weeks I will travel to Havana and wish to buy as souvenir a painting which shows the Capitol in the background with an Oldtimer in front of it (yes, some of you will think now "what a terrible boring tourist motif" :-), but I want that the motif is Havana-typical - other motives I can buy everywhere).
Does anyone of you who have already been there know where I can find such specialized (street-)painters or artists/galleries?
From other trips (Sydney, Lisboa,...) I have the experience that there are some local places or streets with much tourist traffic where you can find many street-painters next to each other.
But I have also no problem if it is a free artist of a galery who can paint me the picture within one or two days after I show him exact how I like it.
Not to forget, he should have some talent, and I would prefer oil or better acryl, painted in strong shining colors, size approx. 15x20 inches (40x50 cm).
Thank you very much for every information!
