Assignment 4

Everybody gives love an importance. Most of them shape their life through love. Love can be in every relationship. However, there is a place in which people show their love each other most, it is called family.  This picture shows us that situation. It is a room which seems like a saloon and also used as a bedroom by family members. The house is made with wood and there is just one window which is half broken and closed with papers. Sun is brightening the bed on which six boys and parents are sleeping. The boys are blond and they are little. They have just one blanket on them and they are sharing it. On the blanket there is a dog which is also sleeping. It is brown and very sweet. Father’s and one of the son’s feet are appearing from the blanket. Mother, father and three sons are sharing one pillow and the others are sharing one pad, too. With parents and three boys there is a cat which is sleeping next to pillow. It is yellow and has white lines. It is very small one. Each of them is smiling. When you see that it makes you think they are the happiest people in the world. The bed is very old and about to collapse. There is heater in the room which seems like unnecessary because their smiley faces are already heating the room. Father has an umbrella among their hands like it is used for protect their family members. There is a chicken which is looking them in front of the bed. The room is small, the bed is not enough to cover eight people, one cat and one dog but their heart is very big so they do not need anything else. The sun is shining on them like wants to show everybody their love and happiness. This painting, which is made by Abidin Dino, is called ‘the picture of happiness’ and these which I mentioned are the reasons why people call this picture with this name. Love does not require anything.
