Orbitz has cheap packages from time time to Paris. Also, if you google Kuwaiti Airlines, you can fly to paris super cheap on that air line. Paris is a connecting point between the US and Kuwait.

MoniGram said: MIGUELGOMEZ said: What I loved was the story behind it. Marsyas challenged a God to play music. The God won and tied him up. MARSYAS was a Phrygian Satyr who first composed tunes for the flute. He obtained his instrument from Athena, who had invented the device but discarded it in her displeasure over the bloating effect on the cheeks. Later, in hubristic pride over the new-found music, Marsyas dared challenge the god Apollon to a contest. The Satyr inevitably lost, when, in the second round, the god demanded they play their instruments upsidedown--a feat ill-suited to the flute. As punishment for his presumption, Apollon had Marsyas tied to a tree and flayed him alive. The rustic gods in their pity then transformed him into a mountain stream.

Your paintings remind me of works by Shaun Leonardo. Unfortunately only a few of his works can be found on the net. Here is one of them: 
I met this guy about a half a year ago and almost flipped. He is fucking gorgeous.

I love Kerry James Marshall. I like the Souvenir series. 
^ The museum where I used to work had this painting in their permanent collection. I loved talking about it on my tours. | |
