About Me

I am a painter. I enjoy creating beautiful things. I would like to think that my creations would last for tens of thousands of years, but all things are temporary. I enjoy looking at beautiful things. If you are one, please forgive me if I get lost in the wonder of your glories. I try to find beauty in everything, often times it is where it is least expected. Sometimes I look so hard I don't listen. I am trying to be a better listener. I may not (probably won't) remember your name but I will always remember your face (unless you've gotten a facelift). I'm working on this. Often dreaming, sometimes waking. Occasionally walking without waking, but if I am waking then I'm probably walking. I do not believe that I may rest on my laurels. I am often times a loner. I have learned to enjoy and use my time alone. My nose is often to the grindstone. I am a student of many arts-classical guitar, drawing painting and sculpture, poetry, spiritual and martial arts. I am interested in Native American culture and ceremonies. I like to practice yoga several times a week (if not every day). . .especially outside. The healing arts fascinate me. I enjoy talking about the arts and exploring the abstract. I am painting for a living and would like to create music on the side, and maintain a strong link with the arts community. I feel like there is something to learn from everyone, and that I can find common ground with just about everyone. At the very least I believe I can sit down and have a beer or shot of bourbon with anybody, so if you care to hit me up. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Muses Incarnate. Artists of all kinds. Women who would like to be immortalized in paint. Dreamers. Yogis. Shamans. Boddhisattvas. Adepts. Sages. Amateurs. Professionals. Generally anyone with whom knowledge may be exchanged, experience gained, and lessons learned.
