I studied figure drawing with Victor for a few weeks one summer. As you describe, he was unassuming and about his work, which was very good. He was a generous teacher and I have fond memories of him.
Oh, what a rich memory and I shall probably be asking in the same way from now on, depending on which way to ask comes to mind...and will think of your story and Victor. Cuevas, of course, brings to mind the other artist, famous and fantastic. I had a long work of his called Giants long ago....where is it now...
Wonderful story and oh, those characters in your $5 hotel....memorable!
An excellent grammar point I had not noticed!
So glad I looked you up. Re-reading On Mexican Time from our apartment here on the shores of Lake Chapala...
Another wonderful snippet, Tony. Knowing Mexico, especially back in the day, I can "see" this place.
Thanks, Donna...

I had forgotten! Nice memory and description...
Terrific as usual

I was going to mention the more famous Mexican painter José Luis Cuevas, by contrast,
but then didn't...
