Creativity and Attracting The Muse

A grey and rainy day in Vista Grove. We need the rain, need the watershed for our reservoirs and for this summer.

What have you been doing today? This is a great day for art. Go to your studio and do art, as they say. Are you inspired, and if not, why?



We should be aware of each and every moment, and the opportunity each moment provides to us. A dear man once said to me, "I do not want to live my life peering out over the ruts of existence". How many of us find ourselves in just that sort of place? ...every day?

There is no real reason...expecially when inspiration and beauty lie all around us. In every smile, every precious face, every kind word, every action...we are full of inspiration and boundless reason for creativity and the exploration of our imaginations.



What will you do with your opportunity today? Will you create something beautiful; a pastel figure, an oil landscape, a poem? Will you capture a lovely moment in the rain with your digital camera, or sketch a figure waiting at the bus stop near work?



What will you do today? Will you be an artist, or will you simply watch as life goes by...?
