Inspiration

View from My Desk
Controlled clutter includes things I cannot live without: red china marker and paintbrush eraser.
Hydrangeas
The only flowers I can grow.
Oyster Cans
When an oysterman says, “Going to haul” he means the weather is going to change. (Chesapeake Bay Museum)
Pen Monkey Mug
I want one of these!
Jezebel
My office companion, who swears like a sailor if her dinner isn’t served promptly at 5:30.
Full Moon
Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy. —Henri Frederic Amiel
Things
Tell me you wouldn’t follow the arrow if you happened upon this sign along the road. I would.
Goethe Color Wheel
Colour itself is a degree of darkness. —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sleeping Sun
The boy’s surprise at catching the sun sleeping — that, I want to feel that.
Bees & Skeps
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne. —Marcus Aurelius
Four Leaf Clover
My youngest says the white v’s on a four-leaf clover show up as a diamond rather than a triangle. When she walks, she’s looking for diamonds. And she finds them. A lot of them. (from LUCK)
Bookshelf
Amid the books are two photos of Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of the most charismatic people I’ve ever met.
Matchbook
Funny and sad; so telling of where we were headed … living automatically. Let’s not, okay?
Prisma Colors
First gift from the man I married. He got me from the start.
Village Wise Woman
You’ll find her in Conjure, Silver, my illuminated novel.
Miss Alma Lee
The hat, the rope of pearls around her ropy neck. There’s a story here.
Gate House on the Loire
Longing to return.
Albrecht Durer
1512 rendering of bird’s wing.
