Once Upon An Easter {1}

I decided to make an early start on my Easter story. 

Once Upon an Easter

                                       Chapter1:

                                       Easter Vacation

School is on early Easter vacation.

The Campbellville Heroes as we fondly call ourselves were

racing home on our bikes. My bike “Yellow Bird” was an

old model ladies bike fondly called a “Preggie”. With a

make, shift wooden bar. On this wooden bar I towed my

good friend Choe Chan. Riding home, we made a screeching

halt by the shave iceman for a snow cone with colorful sweet

syrup. This will cool us down from the hot sticky sun. We

hoped to meet Ramdas and Suzie at the D. Y. C. playground.

Finally we got to the playground but the Subryanville

Iguana’s had got there before us and had all intentions of

hawking the field. With nothing else to do but wait, we

settled under the huge Ginip tree with its large branches and

cool tropical breeze blowing. Ramdas however saved the day

“would you believe it he had a flour bag full of mangoes”.

We ate as much as we could. Now it was barging time. We

dealt the rest to the Iguana’s to get them off the cricket

pitch. By the time we got home from cricket, Choe Chan’s

mother had prepared for us some Chinese cake with some

cold Sorrel drink. We ate then left and went to the back of

my home to start making our own cricket bats. Sometimes,

we made then out of old coconut branches that had fallen

from the trees and at other times out old pieces of wood we

found around our yard.

The start of Easter holidays.

BAPTISM

While working with a publisher of recent on my book {Remembrance of Christmas} the publisher asked for original pictures of art featured in the book.  I found myself in a position where I had sold “Sick and in Hospital”.  I therefore had do another painting.  My original painting was done from a photograph.  Going through my file I found the original photograph. What moved me was what was written behind the photograph in my father’s hand writing, {why were you born? All about water Baptism. In Takoradi Hospital given by Butos.  My hand writing, Rowan, To: Granny}.

Attached to this blog are photographs and the original painting and the new one.  Also attached is {Burst} an explosion of flowers, this art is for sale.  You may contact me direct or view on Saatchiart.com.
