Mondays don’t get me down!

Posted in art by nakedpastor on the July 24th, 2006

I’ve been listening to Brian Eno all day. Eno, for those of you who don’t know, is probably best known for his work with U2. Mondays, as usual for most pastors I know, is my day off. But I don’t really take it off. I spend ALL DAY in my studio painting like crazy. So, I’ve been painting all day to the ethereal, dreamy, mood music of Eno… such albums as Apollo and Ambient 2: Plateaux of Mirror. Next on my list is Discreet Music, and Ambient 1: Music for Airports. Sometimes I paint to crazy jazz, like Terence Blanchard, but today it’s Eno. Listening to music keeps my energy up, my creativity flowing and my brushes moving.

I love Mondays. They’re my creativity day with coffee breaks overlooking the Kennebacasis River (click here to see a pic). But don’t get me wrong… being creative is hard work. You have to get up, get in there, and DO IT!

    I admire your sanity. And your discipline to be creative. I tend to go comatose on my time “off”.

    Dave’s lucky enough to have time off when nobody else does. The act of getting comatose on a monday by one’s self is often labelled a problem.
