Georgia O'Keeffe painted in her car, so she could paint outdoors while shielding herself from bees and the intense desert sun. Her car was a customized Model-A Ford. She could detach the front seats and turn them to face the back seat, which was used to hold up her canvases.

Paul Klee was a talented musician. This comes to no surprise when learning that his mother was a professional singer and his father was a music professor. When Klee became an artist in his adulthood, he would play the violin as a warm-up prior to painting.
