But still it was the occasion to meet with my mentor, an elderly artist, he is already far over 70 let.Povidal lot chego.Sidim, drink coffee and not tolko.Ya him, But who can be considered a true artist? "He answered," This artist is primarily present-Man, honest, conscientious, honest, fair to myself and to the people ... "That's it.
