The Romantic Consultant

I do not believe in open relationships. I am a hopeless romantic, straightforward, talented, loyal, organized, gifted, strategist, researcher, and a consultant. I have not provided any dance performance services since 2016. I do not remember Ms. Cindy Jackson from the Howard University's Upward Bound program from 1992. I was 15 at that time. I do remember Mr. Marvin Sinn (1987) apprenticing under and Mr. Winston Kennedy from Howard University (1987). I was 11 years old at that time and a student at NationHouse.

My favorite restaurants have been closed for many years and my favorite food is not French nor Italian. I am an American and an adult. I have had the opportunity to provide numerous services. I do not conduct dating services. I have had the opportunity to work with many children until 2018.

I have many favorite movies on tv.

I am very selective. Only attracted to single straight male over the age of 30. Not interested in dating women, married men, senior citizens nor boys. I am not joking around, playing mind games and entertaining gossip and lies.

Please stop looking at old photos of me because I have thrown away many clothing articles and other items.

June 2023, I was still an adult. I love single straight male over the age of 30 who act respectful, gentlemen and transparent.

My only telephone number is 202-384-5925

Stop speaking to other people that do not know me at all. The only reason why you do not believe me is because you can not remember or you have something to hide. I am not ashamed nor regret anything about my past.

Fall Reflections

I have no idea what you are discussing because I am doing my fall reflections. In my artistic practice, which encompasses both traditional and digital abstract painting, I have explored an extensive palette of colors. Over the span of more than three decades, I have consistently utilized hues such as blue, crimson, dark red, red, black, green, magenta, and yellow, each contributing to the emotional depth and visual complexity of my work. In addition to these primary colors, I have also integrated a diverse range of other shades into my compositions. These include earthy tones like brown and orange, as well as more vibrant colors such as gold ochre, purple, pink, gray, and white. Each color serves a specific purpose, whether it be to evoke a particular mood or to create a striking contrast that draws the viewer's eye.

Pivotal Moments

Flyer created in 2019 for Doc Powell, Founder of the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers by Ms. Afrika Abney. “Back when Art All Night first took root in the Shaw neighborhood in 2011, I was enthusiastically involved in providing numerous services.

One of my notable works, titled Warmth of the Evening, emerged from this endeavor, showcasing a vibrant palette that reflects the soothing transition from day to night. The act of painting became a meditative practice, allowing me to channel my thoughts and emotions into a visual representation that resonates with the tranquility I sought. In the creation of Warmth of the Evening, I deliberately selected a combination of colors that evoke a sense of comfort and serenity. The dominant hues of red, orange, and yellow were chosen not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their ability to convey warmth and intimacy. Each stroke of color was thoughtfully applied, blending seamlessly to create a harmonious composition that captures the essence of a peaceful evening.

In addition to the physical distribution of flyers, I utilized digital channels to broaden the event's reach.
