My Muse Mosaic

Mosaic of seven images...two repeated to equal nine from Mosaic Maker a fun site. I have more images but not photographed and some have sold. Is that proper to sell one's muse? My muses over the years have usually been Viking angels...bold ones lighting my way. The mostly yellow faced muse "Forlorn" was created as a way to let my muse hold my doubts and disappointments artistically. My newest muse is in the center made of blue crayon and water. I gave her coin earrings and very curly hair. For my latest project I need strong, worldly intelligence with uncompromising loyalty. Her name is signed Ruth for the good Ruth of the Bible. I like her and believe we will work well together and know she is loyal to me and the project (because I said so! ha)

Watched "Lovely Bones" ...powerful, scary, creepy and from a beautiful perspective. It dragged in some parts but it was mostly heartfelt and thought provoking. Anyone see this movie?

"Take Me Home"

Yet another muse painted when I needed her most...she was lighting my way to a new home. I was a sudden widow and everyone advised me against making the move to Santa Cruz, CA. Family, friends and financial guys, who predicted I'd become a bag lady. I placed a map of the Monterey Bay on top of my blue earth as my target. My Viking muse stands firm holding her lantern. Her braid is made of collaged satin ribbons and her lantern.... a strawberry basket! The piece measures "24 x 28", acrylic. To make a long story short, I did sell everything, I did move alone and not knowing a single person and I did find a home perfect for me. Courage seems to be the gift or maybe the gift of standing firm.
