I almost never listen to music, but I always try to have a book on tape in the cassette player. My studio transforms into "The Garden of Eden." I miss reading (I'm a young mother). And I can stay in the chair and paint much longer if I'm being entertained.

But I must admit, there are certain points in the process where I just can't listen and think at the same time. I also experience the phenomena of looking at a painting I completed long ago and remembering the book I was listening to at the time.
