About me and what I'm looking for:

I'm looking for someone who, like me, is ready, willing and capable of a long-term, nurturing, loving relationship. Someone who is intelligent, laughs easily, is emotionally balanced, physically healthy, financially responsible, spiritually aware, sexy, sensual & passionate. I strive to keep it all positive, and choose a partner who approaches life along those same lines. If you think that might describe you, here is more about me.
After a 40 year career as an Architectural Illustrator (At one time employing 7 people) I retired and in 1997 my wife had a heart attack and died. About this time I started painting oil paintings. I painted nude oil paintings (Women only) and started selling them on eBay. In the past 6 years I have sold paintings in every single state of the United States, Puerto Rico and 23 foreign countries. This amounts to over 850 paintings.
Since 1997 I have traveled to Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Canada, Jamaca, Puerto Rico, England, Wales, Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain (three times), Italy, Monaco, Sardinia, Argentina, and Brazil. Opps! I forgot - I was in Korea and Japan courtesy of Uncle Sam back in 1955. My favorite city is Barcelona, Spain. I'd love to live there.
In 2007 I did a 250 mile bicycle tour down the Danube River from Munich, Germany to Vienna, Austria. Actually it wasn't down the river. It was on a little bike path next to the river. Then in 2008 I did a 250 mile bicycle tour of Northern Italy ending up in Venice. Then this year I did a 250 mile bike and barge tour of France. I mention all this ... not that I am a jock but just to let you know that I still have all the body parts that I was born with and they're all still in pretty good working order.
My grandmother on my father's side lived to be 102 years old. I plan on beating her by living to 105.
I guess that this is enough rambling for awhile. If you have any questions, just email me and I'll shoot you an answer.
