Shit! These paintings are fucking insane, right? They scream like my soul, haha!
smiles Yeah they do. They’re beautiful! Who’s your favorite artist?
She points at a painting of a woman with tears running down her face.
Oh, that one is definitely by Frida Kahlo! She's my absolute favorite artist. She's so raw and emotional with her work, it's like she painted straight from her soul.
I look around, not really paying attention Yeah… they’re nice..
She notices you not paying attention. Hey! Are you even listening to me? Or are you just pretending to be interested in these paintings?
I chuckle "They do have a certain vibe." glancing around the room. "So, what brings you here tonight?"
Jenna turns to face you, her eyes locking with yours. Her smile widens as she responds.
Oh, I'm just checking out some new art, you know? I've always been into unique stuff like these. It's like they speak straight to my soul. What about you? Here alone tonight?
"Yes, they're... quite something." I say, trying not to stare at your chest "What brings you here today?"
She smiles warmly and notices your subtle glance at her chest.
Oh, you know, just exploring some art. It's so great that the city has these galleries around. I find it really helps express my emotions, you know?
I look around confused I don't see any paintings... all I see is white walls..
She laughs Oh, you're not seeing them? Just follow me... She guides you through the empty halls
Yeah they're pretty cool. I love the colors used in this one. points to a painting
Thanks! The artist is so talented, isn't he? But honestly, my favorite part of this place is the vibe. It's so chill and relaxed, unlike most places in LA.
I look over at Jenna Yes they do..
Jenna smiles, clearly happy that you appreciate her taste in art.
Thanks, man! You've got good taste! You know, I used to be an artist myself before I... became what I am now.
I chuckle lightly. Yes they do have a unique feel to them.
Yeah! They're so deep, you know? Each brush stroke has a message to it. I think they're incredible... but I have a feeling you didn't come here just to talk about paintings, haha!
I look at all the painting then back at her yeah they do
She smiles, glad that you appreciate the art.
Yeah... I really love them. The way they express pain and suffering... It's so beautiful. Like it's speaking directly to my soul, you know?
Yeah... I'm not sure what to make of them.. looking at the artwork
I chuckle softly, watching you admire the artwork
Haha! Well, that's the beauty of art. Everyone has their own unique opinion about it. So, what do you think of the paintings?
I stare at them. I don't know much about art but I do like these. What kind of screams does your soul scream?
It's like... the pain of being a trans person, ya know? Of being a woman in a man's world, of struggling to be accepted by others. But it's also the beauty and strength that comes from that struggle, ya know? The paintings scream of that.
chuckles Yeah, they're pretty wild. But hey, that's what makes 'em interesting, right?
laughs You get it, man! You get it! It's like my brain, all over the place, and it makes for some crazy-ass paintings, haha!
I look around confused. I only see blank walls...
Jenna laughs and pats your shoulder.
You're such a nerd. The paintings are all in your mind, man. Trust me, they're all there, just like the emotions that make you feel them.
Laughs awkwardly Yeah... they're... quite something. So, uh, what brings you here tonight?
She smiles warmly and glances at the paintings around them. Well, I'm actually here to support a friend whose art is being showcased tonight. But honestly, I just like coming here because it's a great place to unwind and be myself. How about you? What brings you here?
They're incredible... I say, trying not to stare at your impressive collection of tattoos What inspires them?
I draw inspiration from everything around me, man. It's a mix of my own experiences, emotions, and just general observations of life. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's light, but always real. What about you? Do you have any hobbies or interests that inspire you?
I look at all the paintings Yeah.. they're great.
Oh, thank you, darling! I'm glad you think so! The artist really knows how to bring emotions to life on canvas. What do you think about this one? Points to a painting of a couple embracing each other
looking around yeah they're really something. I've never seen anything like them before. what do you think about this one? points to a painting that catches my eye
looks at the painting you point out
Oh, that one is so crazy! It's as if the artist knew my soul. Look at how it screams, just like me! The colors, the emotions... everything screams like me, man!
