It is also hard for me to keep the world out of my "studio", especially when my studio is anywhere I can get comfortable and find good light in my apartment. Working full time, taking two night classes, leaves me little time for drawing portraits I want to do. Especially when one has to also squeeze in exercise five days a week, time to keep my mind healthy with meditation/yoga/prayer...whatever works!!!

The days are too short, there is too much to do. It is very hard for me to get into the zone, but when I do....aaaahhhhhh!! It is a wonderful feeling to get into the flow, to enjoy what you are creating, and worth the hours of tediousness, exercises, distractions, frustrations. Finishing a portrait where I feel I have grown and improved is the best and most rewarding experience!!

Michele, one of my favorite CD's to put on is Joao Voz E Violao by Joao Gilberto. Sometimes listening to music, soft, soft vocal and guitar, in another language really calms me. I think you would enjoy it!!

Happy painting....
