"the incumbent"

by cassandra barney

i'm obsessed.

isn't it whimsical and yet, so profound?

see, my mother is an artist.

it's simply what i grew up with.

it's what i know.

just like boys grow up to watch sunday afternoon football,

i grew up with a deep-rooted love for art.

the smell of a canvas spread with fresh mixed oil paints,

the sophistication of ink smudged across fingertips

...and the stain of watercolors left on the paint palette.

i realize it's no ball game.

but it's what i love.

xoxo.
