I always listen to music. Marvin, I noticed you listen to fingerstyle guitar. I too love to listen to fingerstyle guitar (lots) - contemporary as well as classical guitar. Sometimes I attempt to play it, but not at the same time I'm painting. I also listen to contemporary Christian music, jazz guitar, classical music and some rock every now and then.
I am only part-time at the moment so my painting time is limited, but sometimes my wife will come in and talk to me which doesn't seem to bother me at all. Also, I paint in a small bedroom (which I have totally dedicated to a studio) and most of the time I have my 3 year old son Casey wanting to paint with me. Good thing his paints are washable. Though he has never messed with my paintings, the floor does get its fair share of painting.
