A Little Peace and Quiet Makes All the Difference

When some friends ask me to house sit, I realized that if I got away from the daily grind, I might actually have time to paint. I worked with egg tempera, and after two days of that I switched to opaque watercolor.
I know noise pollution affects me, but I was acutely aware of how much it's harmed my productivity ever since I moved to Anaheim. Once I was out in the country away from gardeners, noisy neighbors, screaming children, helicopters, sirens, and non-stop air conditioners, I could relax and concentrate.
