Ms. Tourdot’s paintings are peaceful and yet emotion-evoking. I could gaze at them for hours, taking in the artistic way that she creates a movement in her paintings. And, yet a serenity, at times.

I enjoyed learning about Ms. Tourdot’s routine, as well, not unlike the way I approach my art (writing and music), and appreciate what she says about her painting be an intimate moment, even though the next moment she can be a socialable as a social butterfly.

Come, meet Ms. Tourdot and her beautiful expressions of art.

Performing at a great venue is extremely important for any band. Before you headline Glastonbury or fill the O2, you need to build a following and one of the best ways to do this is to start performing gigs at local venues that are popular and great for holding music events. Below are a few tips to consider when choosing the right venue for your music event, and what to do afterwards:

Take a look around

It is essential to search around and find the right venue for your band. There’s no point approaching small folk venues if you’re a heavy metal hip-hop crossover! Take a look around your town and city and ask people in the know if they can recommend venues that might want to hear your band and put you on their stage. When you’ve done this, you can start approaching venues and decide who to will host your event.

I like how Ms. Schultz puts it, and I agree that this is true for me, as a musician. She says, in referring to art, “I don’t feel one decides to be an artist. It is something inside of you that needs to be released.” Very well put! That is the essence of the art within, desiring to be expressed, desiring to be released.

From the sounds of things, Ms. Schultz found ways to express this art, from a young age, even if/when it was not particularly pleasing, referring to her choice of canvas. Please, read with me, and learn about Ms. Jennifer Schultz.

Every few years there is a singer or a band which taps into the public feeling perfectly and becomes an icon of the era. It’s impossible to think of the grunge movement of the early 1990s without thinking of Nirvana, of Britpop without naming Blur or Oasis, or disco without considering the BeeGees. The first band to have this sort of impact on a global scale was the Beatles, who dominated the charts through the 1960s and added to the Swinging Sixties ethos of the UK during this time.
