I don't listen to much music actually. When I do however, it's upbeat and fun for sure. Dance, Modern Pop, Jazz and yes, Country! Whoo hoo!
When I'm painting in the studio I love to listen to radio shows, some podcasts and fun music. And especially, my all time favorite - Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. I love the funny little skits they put on and the variety of guests and music is really entertaining! Sadly, Garrison has retired this year, but the website has all the past episodes - it's fantastic and easy to binge listen whenever you want! I usually run my entertainment from my phone or tablet and my husband gave me this great Sony Speaker!! It's rechargeable and I can move it around to whatever location I'm in. It connects easily with Bluetooth and is simple to operate. We got it at - yes, you know where! - Costco. When I want to listen to a collection of podcasts that I have stored up, I listen to them straight from my old school iPod Nano and I'm thinking of hooking them through our stereo - my iPod's don't have Bluetooth hook ups (heavens!). There are endless numbers of great podcasts to listen too. If you don't already - I recommend going to a podcast library and looking around. I use iTunes.
I don't listen to much music actually. When I do however, it's upbeat and fun for sure. Dance, Modern Pop, Jazz and yes, Country! Whoo hoo! "Tropical Hosta" Original Oil Painting on Archival Gessoboard, 6 inches x 6 inches © Jennifer Ressmann While the tropics are full of beautiful bold colored flowers. There are many delightful tropical plants! The Hosta is such a lush full plant that can reach 6 feet wide and 4 feet high! And, there are more than 40 different varieties.

My Studio Space! I have my ideal space. I have dreamed of having this size studio and set up since I was a wee one in Art School. It has a great size foot print with lots of work space. It has oodles of cabinets and tons of drawers. Ooo wee!! The cabinetry was an exchange with a collector of my work. It was a generous gift and I am so tickled every time I slide open the nice drawers to browse through my painting supplies or to easily grab a pen conveniently next to.... everywhere! The space gets a lot of use and I am extremely lucky and very grateful! (Thanks Duane and Susan!) The beginning images are the remodel and install of the cabinets. Below are some photos of my last studio space at our old house. (A couple kind of messy when I was moving in.) Also a good size layout and I spent many great years working in here - but the hodge podge started to get to me. I always found it hard to focus - because there was so much in my face. I mean look at all that awesome mess - So many great things to putz with! I really love the new space with cabinets and keeping it all behind doors. Clean and tidy... most of the time. My Studio is also in my home, so the neater the better. Fun! Is the Contest Entry Form giving you troubles through your email? Fear not!
