The sight through my window (Now I can understand The little prince) - Watercolor painting
Hey my Fellow Steemians lovers of art
Even in the most tragic moments in life, you can find beautiful things to stare at. Even across the worst situation in the country, or the despair of not having electricity, the uncertain knowledge that you have to do something, and not knowing what. I had learned that Even through all that, I can try, and I have to find a little peace in little beautiful things. When I look the pretty sunset with so much color in my window, I feel relaxed, and I can stop thinking for a while, I feel my breathing and my pulse.
I felt like I had to paint that sight, so I can see it all days in my room, and not only when the sunlight is going away. I remember one of my favorites books, "The little prince" in the chapter number 6, the little prince talks about sunsets, and how much (and why) he likes them. In his little planet, the sunsets and their softness were his only distraction. He used to move his chair in his little planet, to see sunsets all day if he wanted. It was a pretty small world. One day, he said that he saw 43 sunsets in one day. And in a moment... he says this:
"You know, one loves the sunset when one is so sad..."
How much wisdom in those words, I can say now, he is totally right. I understand little prince, thank you.
So with all this spare time, and my strong need of a sunset in my life (because I can't do like the little prince and just move to the other side of the world to see a sunset whenever I want) I did this drawing. I do not own heavy paper to use watercolors, and I don't care. I painted all I can see in my window, the striking colors of the light and the big tree in the street. The light is so strong that the tree looks brown, almost black. It's a beautiful sight, at least I think so. Even with a thin paper, I think it looks really pretty. Now, this is in my bedroom, and I can see it all day. Maybe now I'm kind of like the little prince.

Drawing for me it's kind of therapeutic. If you ever have a very strong feeling, the best thing that you can do is painting and let it all on paper.
Thank you for reading until there and be with me in my artistic adventures!

It's important to find something in the most difficult situations of our lives. And I see that you found it. I am sorry to hear that the situation is not improving. It takes so long already and it must be very difficult for the entire nation. I wish you strength and patience!
It's a nice painting. I feel like looking at the horizon and seeing the bright future :)
Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!
Thank you so much. Inwish for that too. I'm glad you liked the picture, and happy to find those good things in my life. Blogging about this when there is electricity helps a lot too.

It’s a beautiful painting, and it must be great to have such a view from your window...
Life can indeed pour a lot of crap at us at times, glad you still managed to find something beautiful that you love among the rubbish dump :) wishing you all the best!
It can be really crappy, that's right, but we decide if let it us become crap too, or find or way out. That's how I look at it. I'm glad you liked the painting, and yeah, sure it's beautiful, can give force

"The Little Prince" is one of my favorites.
And I must confess that I've had several "high maintenance" relationships with quite a few "Roses" in my life...
Enjoyed your post.
Namaste, JaiChai
Thank you! The metaphor of the Rose is the most beautiful, thank you for remember me it

Despite the hardship, you are finding moments of strengths through reflections and through art.... You are a very remarkable person, @zaidagrilli :)
I love the write up to this post very much, I still need to finish reading the little prince, but you completely captured his beautiful stories so much with the way you talk about the little prince and sunsets <3
I hope things will improve in your country, @zaidagrilli ... wonderful picture and post <3 <3 <3
Your words are very kind, thank you for them. You definitely should finish The little Prince, it is a book that can teach you a lot about life with the most pure and beautiful metaphors. For me every time I read it I find something new to learn and enjoy of the book.
