Forgive the random thoughts and pictures, it's late and we've had a few long days.  Karole is working hard on the upcoming "The Three Faces of Medea" based on the Euripides classic.  I've been illustrating a healthy baby book for Bangladeshi mothers, and teaching foundation drawing.  The students started working in watercolor yesterday, and they had a live model today.  Figure drawing is a substantial challenge and they did well.  Our models wear bathing suits, and I taught an anatomy lesson.

This is the street we live on.  It's monsoon season, and it had just rained.

A helpful student assisting in displaying student work in the "Tale space" gallery.  The show has been well received.  A passerby assumed that these students must not be beginners, that they've had lots of other art classes.  They are making wonderful progress since they are hard workers.

A typical street scene in Chittagong.  It's difficult to ride a bicycle rickshaw uphill with passengers.  The drivers get off and pull the rickshaw now and then.

The picture perfect sky after a good rain.

I'm official.  It's a great university to be part of, and remarkable things are happening here.

Food vendors are everywhere.

Men outnumber women in public.  Sometimes you feel like you're in a country of men.  Just to see what would happen, I started counting people passing by, I counted 9 men before I saw a woman.  I'm sure the results would vary a lot, but women don't go out in public as much as men do.

I was happy to teach a stress reduction evening class of T shirt painting.  Everyone had a great time.  I'm wearing my new favorite T shirt, signed by all my students!

These are "city crows", the county crows are all black, I've been told.  They are very cautious and hard to photograph, most of the time they fly away when you get a camera out.  They're efficient scavengers.
