Here, remembered in the subject. 
 I have a friend Swiss husband and wife. Live in Hungary to retire from Switzerland. Built a posh house near Lake Balaton. The house has large bright studio with panoramic views of the neighborhood. Paintings, watercolors, more precise experiment. Buy a surprising number of watercolor paper and pour it paints. Then look what happened. Successful work lay, organizes exhibitions in different countries, the money that is .... Invites the artists sometimes amateurs, they pay money for the opportunity to work together. 
 That such a life of contemporary artist. By the way, until retirement, neither he nor she were not artists.
