Detail from Dreaming a Piece of Land, Ardoise, Nova Scotia
Shannon and I were talking about the music we listen to when we paint. We thought we should make a list, a recommendation for those who are wildly creating, tucked away in their home studios. So, here goes:
Norene’s latest favourites:
If Your Memory Served You Right, Serena Ryder
Car Wheels On a Gravel Road, Lucinda Williams
West, Lucinda Williams
Love and Negotiation, Carolyn Dawn Johnson
Fallen, Evanescence
Get Back Change, Ron Hynes
Hymns of the 49th Parallel, KD Lang
Stand Still-Look Pretty, The Wreckers
Famous Last Words, Hedley
Daughtry
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Pink
Now I think D and S should add to this list.

Love the painting - especially what
looks like sea and the purple over the eye and around the nose. I find
smiling people (flashing teeth) hard
to paint, but you've done a great job.
I don't know any of your music I don't think. I better check. I am
just soul and old blues, with some
Beatles, Band, Joni Mitchell (old stuff) and Paul Simon (almost anything). I pity my clients,
sitting and listening to the same
CDs over and over. Lately my son
turned me on to Feist.
I usually avoid open mouths at all costs but, amazingly there are two in this show.
I admit I listen to pop music in the car and so have been enlarging my music collection over the last eight years. Painting gave me the opportunity to listen to music more. When I am writing I can't have anything on. too distracting. Try Googling Serena Ryder. If you like blues, I think you might find something to like in her latest cd.
We are pulling the last bits of the show together - labeling, PR, plans for the hanging and opening... the countdown is on.
Wow! It's lovely to see your work Norene! May I post a link to your blogs on thatstripycat.blogspot.com?
Cheers,
Tara :)
