RE: Charcoal Experiments by @mariandavp
I am having a hard time interpreting the emotion in the expression of the face of the girl in the third piece. Not because it is not a good rendition. It is very good. But I think that she may be expressing an emotion I have never felt!
To me at least, it seems to blend together aspects of both innocence and wisdom. That has not been possible for me in an admittedly sub-optimal trajectory through this life. I have always experienced a need to lose innocence in order to gain wisdom. I would be interested to know if you think that there is an alternative?
I am not sure if wisdom is contradicting innocence... nor do I believe that older people are wiser than younger necessarily. I think it depends on our experiences. Deep and important events in life could potentially provide you with specific knowledge and make you wiser, but it would only be about one aspect of life.
Maybe I am just jealous - because I see wisdom without experience in the girl's face. Doesn't seem fair :-)
