Dutch-born, proud US citizen. I sell cool abstract and realistic paintings and portraits. I'm also a designer and have been designing and making clothing since I was 15 and have worked as an interior designer for 6 years. I Like remodeling homes...I've laid tile floors and patios, put in toilets, faucets, refinished hardwood floors, done plenty of interior house painting and I love landscaping. I sew everything decorative for the home such as curtains, pillows and bedding. I'm basically making something every waking minute of the day. Sadly I can never find enough time to make all that I would like to make. I would go without sleep just to be able to make more.
Creativity and music go hand in hand so I can't tell you what a find Pandora has been! Just when I had stopped listening to convetional radio because I just couldn't take it anymore. The same old stuff day in day out. Are these people robots? As good as that song is - who wants to hear Stairway to Heaven every day? Pandora taps into such a gigantic musical library. How come regular radio can only promote people like Spears and Timberlake and an occasional rock band? Their variety and taste is the pits.
Since I've started listening to Pandora it's become hard to name my favorite bands...I've got so many now, but I'll go back in time and I have to say Deep Purple was my very first favorite band! Along with Rainbow, Dio, some Black Sabbath (especially with Dio), Frank Marino, Herbie Hancock, Scorpions, Metallica, Yngwie Malmsteen, Van Halen, Soundgarden, Guns 'n Roses, Chilly Peppers and then all that cool funk party music; Rick James, Wild Cherry, Parliament, Commodores, L.T.D., Dazz Band, Gap Band, Isley Brothers, the Greyboy Allstars, John Scofield, basically all the best of rock, funk, jazz even classical and Spanish Guitar.
Back to work...enjoy Pandora while it lasts..you never know
