And even more, I LOVE THE ART! I think it might be my all-time favorite...I don't know why, or what it's triggering for me, but the minute I saw it, I INSTANTLY loved it. And learning channels...so key sometimes, and hard when we live with others who have different frequencies. ;) J is COMPLETELY auditory...if he has to learn something or study for a test, he can ONLY do it with music blasting (and preferably right into his head via headphones). I prefer silence and quiet if I'm trying to relax. But if I'm opening up to being creative or trying to learn, I almost prefer some white noise, even if I'm not listening to it (which I'm not). I'm very visual, and have always had a hard time learning and retaining info when it's coming to me via the auditory channel...need to SEE it.</p> LOVE this post!! And even more, I LOVE THE ART!

This makes the prospect of creating so much more inviting and attainable to others (as I believe it can be). I especially like the Robert Henri quote. xo</p> Yay you!, for demystifying your process.

I have a tv on in the background all day and have since I was a kid. I'd do my calculus homework in front of the tv! I am always doing at least two things at once to keep myself from being bored or restless. Thanks for sharing this awesome information. I will have to delve further into this idea. And I LOVE your art piece!<br /> xoxo, Fran</p> Leah, I love this description. I have a tv on in the background all day and have since I was a kid. I’d do my calculus homework in front of the tv!

I love learning about learning styles. My son has a learning disability and learning to help him plunged me into the world of how our brains work.

How are things going? I’m so excited to read about your studio search. (And maybe a little bit jealous.)
