Beth, as the saying goes: there's no such thing as a stupid question. I think it would be ill advised to change the source of light you're working under in the middle of doing a painting. The color relationships would change to some degree. To what degree, would depend on the quality and temperature of your studio bulbs.
I've heard many stories from artists, particularly back before the advent of color corrected lights, who worked all night to finish a painting, under artificial lighting, and were horrified to see their results the following morning, in the light of day. Also, wouldn't this require you lugging your computer and monitor outside as well?
