Motivation:
I enjoy painting abstract art and use movement and incorporate it into my 4 sided and 3 dimensional abstracts. I guess I think of myself as a fairly free-thinking, philosophical, non-political, creative, eclectic, somewhat weird and eccentric stream of consciousness, thinking, thoughtful, go with the flow, no worries, unconventional type.  www.revolvingart.com 
Interests:
Meeting People who are passionate, yet open minded about things, who take the time for new thought & ideas & able to have a good conversation beyond their occupation, convenience, the weather, what they've been up to lately, film, music, politics, goods & services. I'm all about people who realize the importance of sharing and truly connecting with others on a daily basis. Taking the time to listen, express their inner dwellings, and getting to know each other better in a way that broadens the richness of each other's soul, or just really enjoying each others company. Just because I sometimes come across as quiet/shy doesn't mean I'm trying to be stand off-ish. I long for good company. Who's up for Parcheesi ?
