Strong Apron Strings and Paintbrushes

Like hungry wolves with ribs showing, men huddle at her heels. Waiting for any little drop of inspiration from her paintbrush. Like a wet dog shaking its coat droplets spray everywhere. Bluffing they have the power and not the need. Every woman has mother's potential for nurturing , feeding , nourishing. Where does Inspiration to paint come from? Why is painting sacred? Why are they so hungry for mother's attributes and blessings? Is it because she is a creator , to carry and grow a soul inside her? To carry , bear nurture and raise many souls for generations to come. So then how is painting and creating akin to the creation of childbearing?
