The Clown


                I always loved art, even when I was a little boy, my mom couldn’t keep her paintbrush out of my hands. Today was no exception to that, and as I did almost every weekend, I walked to the art museum that was about three blocks away from my house on the south side of town.

                The chilly night air smelt distinctly of fall, as I trot down the main road leading to the museum. When I arrive I am greeted by warmth and the sweet smell of paint and wood. As I make my way deeper into the building the rooms explode with color, paintings covering every inch of the walls, and sculptures create the paths that intertwine between every single piece as not to miss a single one on your visit.

                Each time I walk into this art museum I’m always warmed by each painting, but one in specific caught my attention the most today, a picture of a clown sitting at a table apparently smoking. For some reason that clown picture hasn’t left my head since the day I saw it, I don’t know why but I just never forgot it.
