I am amazed that so many of you can listen to things that require any part of your brain to pay attention and paint at the same time! Anything more challenging than slow classical or New Age music and I can't concentrate at all. I don't like to paint in silence, though. Slow music tends to quiet my conscious thought process so I can go into that "zone" where most artists seem to work from.
My kids are also home for the summer from elementary school and as soon as I hear "Mommy! She's not sharing!", my concentration's gone. I don't know how much painting I'll get done this summer!
