I would have loved to be a musician for profession. The only artistic fortune I have had so far must have been when I painted Queen Elizabeth in oil. MyGodness! I would never sell that painting!!! And certainly I am sure that all who ever tried artistery would allow an passionate amateur to keep his masterwork. I would now love to hear musicians tell about their musical hobbies! Didrik Schiele
