I love your artwork and look forward to exploring more of your blog. Thanks also for the "brain breaks." I love Deepak Chopra, so I'll sign up for the meditations. The novel challenge sounds good, too. Not sure I'm up for it right now...although it's been another of my dreams to write a novel for as long as I can remember! Nice to "meet" you!<br />CindyCindy Adkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529188086850479173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423455097520426300.post-79104706104645552162012-10-30T13:16:37.624-07:002012-10-30T13:16:37.624-07:00Oh my goodness!

I like to just have my iPod on shuffle while I paint - I have a pretty eclectic taste in music from P!nk, to the Eagles, 70s disco, a bit of Patsy Cline at times and 80s hair bands although Train and Maroon 5 are never far from my playlist as well!

I prefer it quiet. When my husband is home he has music playing constantly.
