peterpolaroid: Be my muse and bring passion to my canvas and yours. Cliffside Park, NJ, New Jersey

Some things in life inspire great things. A man sees abuse of horses in the street and ultimately develops an organization to help all animals, which indirectly created a social change opening up adoption of orphan children. Inspiration for artists is often an emotional response to something they see. For figurative painters many artists had a muse. Parrish, Waterhouse, Sargent all had favorite models. They were lucky in the sense the jigsaw pieces that make up the fabric of their lives worked in their favor. I seem to be missing a few of those jigsaw pieces. Life has cracked some of the varnish off of me. But the piece that sits close to me, that special someone is definitely missing. The jigsaw piece that is missing has a special cut to it, making it a tough piece to find. She has a collaborative nature. Someone who has room for a new person in her life, and someone who's own interests complement my own. None of my pieces glisten in rich tones of money, but they do in the depth of feeling and caring about a lot more than what is the latest greatest thing to have. The woman I'm looking for I envision as someone who is a willing model for me, someone who is willing to explore issues and ideas both intellectually and artistically. Like a living cell all my pieces, including you, evolve and a willingness to work on a relationship that is satisfying to participate in is key. Here are some clues to my puzzle, often referred to as an enigma. I have a true gemini nature, with many aspects of my personality appearing to conflict. Happily there is nothing nasty. Just ask my cat. There is the country vs city, active vs passive, shy vs talkative. I'm not perfections nor do I try to be, or expect it in others. I do however look for that piece of the jigsaw that is the best fit and will not break the whole beautiful puzzle.
