He was introduced to me as Jan!

I saw immediately that he is older than me! He also seemed to appreciate art and modern artists, and he was looking for a new style of art to purchase for display in his home. It sounded like he needed for someone to convince him what to buy, and he hoped to find someone ambitious enough to pursue him!

I suppose he took interest in me because I didn't look to convert him to believing in my art. I did show him some of my portfolio of work, and in time he purchased three pieces of art I had created! I was happy for that, and then I talked with him at lengths about the art. When I did he asked me to go out to dinner with him.
