15.  In serious, little bit strict person, in a thoughtful sight of close eyes, in a quiet pose is felt a height of thoughts. Steadfastly, clever eyes with concentration look. Eyebrow's hardly have frowned, obeying internal movement of idea. And only the young freshness of a clean oval, a gentle colour on some more chubby cheeks, blossoming health, surprisingly is in harmony with a background of a portrait - the bright, filled sun drunk by a fragrance of colors.  It is an enthusiastic colourful poem how imagines F.V.Sychkov environment, the world in which the person should live. The color decision of a portrait promotes disclosing of integrity and cleanliness of an image. Especially generously the artist uses red color, creating thus mood celebratory приподнятости. As under beams of the generous years sun blossoms and the ground of Mordovia as talents blossom, creative and spiritual opportunities of people smells sweet.
