"I'm hoping you can get a sense of the emotions I'm trying to get my little girl to portray, but I myself am too nervous to tell you what they are lol" And, as I am reluctant to do with remarks on art, I am nervous about commenting. Not even sure if it's my place...Crescent is running the show (grin). But since you just posted back to me earlier, let me give it a shot. Above all, one emotion is of the perpetual EMBARRASMENT teenagers always seem to feel when around their "less-than-perfect" parents. Another emotion, it seems, is obvious from the beginning. NERVOUSNESS. (if that's an emotion). Finally, though related to my first sentence, a bit of SHAME. She's ashamed of her mother. (if that's an emotion). Nice imagination! Although the exercise didn't call for a critique of the "story" (and certainly didn't call for me to make comments at all), I'd have to say I was hooked after the first few sentences. Obviously wondering what was going on. And like the end of a good joke that catches all the listeners by surprise, you "whomped" me and I had to chuckle a bit. I didn't see it coming.
