Making Manifest the Image

At times the artist muse makes known her presence by offering up vivid images before I awake in the morning. The medium varies from jewelry designs to essays to watercolor paintings. I try to pay attention and honor the inspiration. I'm better at it sometimes than others. What I have learned is that the muse may fade into the periphery of my imagination but it doesn't take much to coach her into the limelight. I am thankful that she never gives up waiting for me to engage her time honored assistance in the creative process.
