Birthday Boy

Portraying the anti climatic celebration of ending the fun part - university and childhood. 

In the right side of the painting a clown with a comically long candlesque birthday hat looking at the viewer and at the object in front. He's colourless and sitting in an uncomfortable manner yet still smiling. On the left is a red candle that could also function as a comically cartoonish dynamite stick or a birthday cake. This painting is about anticipation, having fun and pictorial balance.
