When we got all the furniture and accessories settled, Stephen had to do a little nudging, actually, to get me off my tuffet and into the task of nesting in my new area. Together, we put up a few pieces of his art in the room, over the couch and by the joint computer - and he reminded me of a couple prints that in the past I had said I'd someday like to frame and hang.
Once everything was up on the walls, I noticed something. Now when I write, I have a circle of women like muses around me...
The tempestuous Norma

A couple of not-so-tempestuous but quite fashionable ladies of Stephen's creation


The lovely and glamorous Medusa (also of Stephen's creation)

And, ladies and gentlemen, standing behind me and watching over my shoulder, the inimitable Bette Davis.
