The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has been an art museum in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, on 53rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
However, it has now moved…and it’s right out your front door.
Walk out that door and there you will find art like, but not limited to:
A deal well closed.
A dish well served/cooked.
A lawn well mowed.
A paper well written.
A child well raised.
A fashion statement well stated.
A generous life well lived.
A job well done.
A garden well-grown.
A speech well delivered.
A game well-played.
A character well played.
An encouraging word well thought out.
An encouraging word well delivered.
A song well written.
A song well performed.
An idea well thought out.
An idea well executed.
A dream well pursued.
Notice the use of “well” in all of the previous entries. Not everyone will say “well done” when they’ve experienced you art. But that’s not the point. No one leaves the MoMa with inspiration from every piece. The goal is to find and continually inspire those that are saying or thinking “well done” and to do the same for those that you can get to the point of remarking “well done.”
Keep painting and singing for your promoters and disregard the naysayers (most of them have bad tastes anyway – look at their walls – that should tell you something).
Think paint and think song in everything you’re looking to do well at.
The world is 2 in 1: a blank canvas and a sound stage.
Paint and plug in.
