How can anyone resist keeping a snatch of anything that strikes or inspires one? But, the idea of a well organized system for treasure -keeping was a bit foreign...except for old torn manilla folders marked "People, Cities, Landscapes" and "Wow". I'm glad you explained the "morgue" part. I think of mine more as "Spirit Stuff"...in the sense that it awakens my spirit, the spirit is willing but the flesh is sometimes otherwise occupied, spirits speak to us...as my late mentor standing behind me saying, "The whole canvas, the whole...don't niggle, move on"...and last but not least I will BE a spirit before I get to all that I want and try to paint!
