I'm seeking the companionship of an intelligent woman to experience life with.  A sense of humor is a must and tells so much about a person.  For just as the eyes are the windows to the soul, laughter is it's voice.  I believe the most attractive aspect for a woman to possess is a strong sense of loyalty.

     My great passion in life is art.  I'm an excellent portrait artist and enjoy seeing other people's reaction to my work.  I enjoy reading also, philosophy and poetry for the most part.  My favorite author is Shakespeare.  I play the piano (vigorously learning) and hope one day to be able to play Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" flawlessly. I exercise everyday and love to do anything physical and challenging.

     I have many plans for the future and would like to make living as an artist.  Someone interested in helping and encouraging pursuit of this dream now, would be a blessing.

     I prefer to listen rather that talk, but enjoy taking part in an intelligent conversation.  I'm a sincere man that has been able to enjoy and excel in life, with many restraints placed upon me.  I'm looking for someone I can make smile and who will enjoy my company.  My whole reason for placing this ad is to find the female companionship that has been missing from my life.  I hope this will bring me a woman with substance that I can build a lasting friendship with, or more.
