An internationally renowned visual artist with a long established reputation of painting landscapes and still lifes in oil and water colour.

You know, does anyone actually just do one thing these days? I mean in the sense that "I am a [fill in appropriate response here]". I know I don't; many fingers many pies and all that; I mean I'm an artist by profession; it's what I 'trained' to do, but my income - as is common these days - is supplemented by running my own web design and (computer) technical support services; that's what keep bread regularly on the table.

I do prefer it that way though, it keeps things interesting and constantly evolving, but, it's also hard to 'sate' one's thirst for that illusive 'nadir' or pinnacle of achievement in a given subject or topic, especially so when this seems to be the way people generally think; "you should focus on one thing sunnyjim and get good at that", why? It seems so limiting to me but then being a creative genius *cough* one can't help but be all over the place when the mind is so restless.

I've met one of my "Who I'd like to meet", several times in fact, although I doubt he remembers ;o), the renowned artist David Hockney; quite a nice chap.

David Attenborough and Michael Palin are two others that spring to mind. Van Gogh is another one, only to tell him that people in the future will think he's mad, poor chap, all he wanted to do was paint.
