ART EXPLOSION WEEK 45: PARADISE: Happy Childhood!
Hello dear Steemians,
Yesterday I saw the ART EXPLOSION contest running by @juliakponsford I have taken part in the past and really enjoyed it. I am aware that it is last minute submission because the deadline is 3pm today and now it is 11:55 am, and it is just like to jump on a running train, but I just wanted to take part in it.
I apologize @juliakponsford but I can't Upvote and re-steem it as it is 11 days old and it is physically not possible.
As I may be mentioned before, recently I am not often in such contest but sometimes the topic is so interesting and even one glance at it just brings the idea that I could express in my artworks.
This time the topic is PARADISE, it is difficult topic because you can interpreted it in different ways, such as we all know from religion that once people die the soul will be realised and either land in paradise or hell, depending how you lived you life. So none of living people know exactly what it is.
But another wayof interpretation:
Thinking about me, my moment of PARADISE was in my childhood, I am quite lucky person I have really happy childhood and loving family, few sublings and my youngest one who I was looking after. I really enjoyed it too, may be because of that I love spending time with children.
While children we lived in a small house only two rooms but for me it was never lack of space. We had a little river just across the road, most of the summer we spent there. Summer school holiday was 3 months June till September so you can imagine even that turns your child's life in paradise, when you full three months just playing with your friends.
My painting I called "Happy Childhood!" because I believe if people have had happy childhood they grow into confident, kind, caring people, like they give what they receive. Their mind and soul have peace and none of them will even think of harming anyone, they will have healthy personality.
When I was a child we loved to sit on the little wooden pier and try to catch fishes with long wood sticks because I heard from my uncle that fishes can think that there is a bait and not a stick. I remember my youngest subling used to believe everything I said so we just have had a fun during hot summer. Sitting on a pier and waiting for a catch, listening to breeze was the happiest moment of my life.
great artwork,three young children were sitting on a wooden bridge while playing water,@stef1

I think it's a wonderful interpretation.
Certainly, childhood was happy. Without worrying about the future, health, money, human relations, I was able to get absorbed in "now". I felt the satisfied happiness of children in your picture.
