I'm still new to this "art" game and I know I still have lots to learn. One thing I can tell you is to be in the arts, you have to be confident, but you must leave yourself vulnerable. 

"Such A Sad Disco" was painted over the past few years and strictly only worked on while going through tough times with a muse.

Initially this piece was supposed to work as my diary. Something I would never publish and to be left hanging in my studio for only few people to see. But after sticking to the one lesson I've learned. I will leave this piece how it is. 

My main goal while working on this painting for over two years was to showcase my love life as if it was disco. My partner in crime being a subject, she watches these people come and go through the door with a lit cigarette. She thinks to herself "here we go again." The candle represents the "burning love" we can have for someone, but it goes like this. Someday someone will come along and they will either do one of two things, blow the flame out or relight that burning love. The flowers in the vase is a reminder of what some of us call growing pains. the roots are trapped but with some tender, love, and care the plant while thrive and grow freely. and for me, ill be in this disco searching for some kind of serotonin high.
