I am an artist..I paint wildlife..pet portraits..landscapes..mostly oils, but also pastels, watercolors. I also paint on fabric. I am having a show in Des Moines in August at Zanzibar's cafe..I teach art therapy and painting lessons.I love to get around to the museums, places of interest,gardens..tours of homes, fairs..vineyards..I love animals and plan to volunteer at a shelter..I love a night out listening to local bands..any music at all.I love to dance...I like quiet evenings with someone special..a nice, crackling fire..a glass of wine..swimming in the lake..camping...anything outdoors! Fishing!I love being near the water..it is soothing and beautiful. I strive for a peaceful and romantic relationship. I am faithful and trustworthy..I seek someone who is looking for a serious relationship, not just a flash in the pan.

I like a chance to sit down over coffee or dinner to just get to know each other..going out to listen to some music perhaps..somewhere where we can find a quiet corner....or a museum, the botanical gardens.the zoo...the wineries? A walk in the park..?
