Original artwork description:

This is the interior of PIES on St Mary Street, Cardiff, Wales. This eatery, specialising in Pies of various kinds, has an amazing amount of lights hanging from the ceiling, many of which are beginning to take form as reflections in the window behind.
This creates a great contrast between the warm orange based light and the cool greyish light outside.
The title refers to his facial expression and the idea that that thing you had hoped wasn't the case, is the case.

Materials used:

oil painting on cotton canvas
