‘If Only I Knew Then What I Know Now’ is such a haunting statement‚ it’s a story in and of itself that we can all relate to. As a title ‘If I Knew What I Knew Then’ redefines and adds context to the painting by revealing another layer of meaning. American artist Maggie Newman revisits her past and connects to her viewers in this 1997 portrait by subtly evoking the feeling of grief and melancholy without overpowering the work with emotion. Style: In and of itself Maggie Newman’s painting isn’t much

The next day when I walked into school‚ everyone was gossiping about the big attack on Main Street. As I walked past the group of cheerleaders. I overheard one of them say something about a big dog who looked like bigfoot. “Bigfoot” I thought to myself. Yeah right‚ get real. As soon as she said that‚ I knew it was fake.
