What makes a good neighbor?

A good neighbor is someone who is friendly, helpful, and respectful. They are considerate of others, keep noise levels down, and are willing to lend a helping hand when needed. Good neighbors also take care of their property and contribute positively to the community.

Thrilling

Up, up, up, we climb so high,
The world below, a tiny speck in the sky.
Then down we go, with a wild whoosh,
Feeling like we’re riding on a flying broom.

Around the curves, we twist and turn,
Screaming with joy, our stomachs churn.
The wind in our hair, the thrill in our hearts,
This roller coaster ride, a true work of art.

Playful Ghost

Oh, I am a ghostie

with the mostie.

I will do you no harm.

I rather live on a farm.

–

Where I can meet some pigs,

And we can do a jig

With other animals on the lawn

Until dawn

Haunted House Part 2

I created this piece this year and I’m thrilled with how the ghost turned out! The colors of the house are among my finest work, and I absolutely love the facial expressions I captured here. Overall, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite haunted house drawings I’ve ever made!

JEWEL
EMERALD
RUBY

In a cave so deep, without any trouble,
Lay a jewel so green, the stunning emerald.
Its sparkle so bright, its beauty so rare,
A treasure so precious, beyond compare.

Next to it rested a ruby so red,
With a glow so warm, like the sun ahead.
Side by side, they shimmer and gleam,
In this magical cave, like a dreamy scene.

Exploring the Unknown

What could you try for the first time?

I chose to answer this question with a poem to add some excitement, celebrating the beauty of words and their rhythm; poetry can turn simple thoughts into powerful expressions that touch our hearts. So, here it goes

Exploring the Unknown

What could I try for the first time,
To soar beyond the mountain’s climb?
A dance, a song, a brand new rhyme,
Or painting colors in a prime.

Perhaps a dish from a foreign land,
Or crafting art with your very own hand.
To travel far to a distant shore,
Or to learn a language, and so much more.

For life is a canvas, blank and wide,
With adventures waiting on every side.
So, take a step, and don’t delay,
Try something new, make your own way.

Ghost Painting

Over the weekend, a great friend of mine and I decided to go to a paint night event. We were guided through the process of creating this incredible masterpiece step by step. The whole experience was a total joy, filled with laughter and spontaneous creativity. The instructor was not only extremely knowledgeable but also super nice, making everyone feel comfortable and inspired to express themselves. She really encouraged us to tap into our own creativity, which meant that no two art pieces looked alike — it was fantastic seeing everyone’s unique styles emerge. I absolutely love how my ghost turned out; it has this fun, quirky vibe that makes me smile every time I look at it. Plus, I noticed that I’ve definitely improved in creating trees, which was a nice surprise.

Luxury

In a land of luxury, oh so grand,
There lived a pig in a mansion so grand.
He wore a monocle and a top hat so fine,
Eating caviar and sipping on wine.

He lounged in a bathtub filled with champagne,
And danced the night away in the pouring rain.
His butler, a chicken, served him with glee,
As they waddled around in pure luxury.

Principles of Living

October 13, 2024October 13, 2024 M.A.D. Works

What principles define how you live?

I live by the principle of kindness,
Spreading love and joy, never mindless.
Respecting others and treating all fair,
Being honest and showing I care.

I strive to learn and grow each day,
Embracing challenges that come my way.
Living with gratitude and appreciation,
Embracing life with determination.
