Default There's nothing like a true Professional

As I have said in the past,,,you never know who is reading these posts. Comments I had made about Fred Zavadil's Maestro were not only picked up by Freds wife Hana,who had contacted me and thanked me, but by Paul Frenete. Paul handles Freds website ,and decided to use my comments as the description of the carving on Freds website.Not only did he use my quote verbatum,,,but included a link to my site! This to me is the mark of a true professional,,it shows consideration,,style,,thoughtfulness,,and above all a willingness to graciously acknowledge anothers art,,efforts,,style,,without fear. This ,,to me,,was a compliment above and beyond merely complimenting my work,,,I'm humbled and flattered at the same time....WOW.

For a better view of the Maestro ,it's now on his site www.fredzavadil.com

Thank you Fred,,,you're a true gentleman and Pro.

Professional is right Mark. What a talent! His work displayed on his web site is breathtaking. I wish I could see them in person and really get their full effect. Now "that" is carving!!! Thanks for the link.

Thank you Mark for posting this website "Ein Meister der Kunst" in the truest sense of the word. He reminds me a bit of the Italian Artist Livio De Marchi Just beautiful one can not look at it enough.
