Strawberry: Artwork and a poem

Oh, sweet and juicy strawberry,
So bright and full of flavor,
Your red hue and tender flesh,
Fill my senses with joy and savor,
From fields to my plate,
You bring delight that’s true,
In desserts and snacks,
Oh strawberry, how I love you!

Dog Days of Summer: Artwork and Poem

The sun is really hot in the summer,
The air is thick, and the sky is bright.
The trees look beautiful with their leaves glowing,
Children have fun playing in the heat,
Everything feels happy and alive.

Let’s enjoy this time and appreciate every day,
Because summer is really special.

Another Hulk Artwork

I was taking a look at the post I made, and I remember that I had drawn another Hulk before, so I have decided to post it here. I absolutely love how this one turned out, especially the eyes. The shading and detailing really bring out the intensity and power of the character. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do!

ANXI – Anthony’s Anxiety Poem with Artwork

-M.A.D.

Poem by Anthony

ANXI – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Clutching you when you least expect

Coldness like a Zombie’s hand

Little to do or even protect

Fear waves its toxic wand.

Heart is racing beating faster

You take deep breaths to try and cope

Your body turns to rigid, skin alabaster

As you grasp at slipping notions of hope.

It’s taken you now you’re frozen in place

Triggered and frayed like a live wire

A icy gaunt look on your face

You suffer deep in anxiety’s ire.

Its Crippling debilitating

And takes a big toll on

Endlessly contemplating

Until happiness is gone.

Many a victim doth it take

Chaining them to over thought

Trying to avoid a break

From a disaster that may be wrought.

Stand in strength and hold on fast

Strength inside far more than you know

This internal nagging will not last

Take this opportunity to grow.

Take control you got this now.

Your mind drifts back to normalcy

Taking command of your fears, wow

It’s the strongest you can be…

Anthony’s Poem: Zach, the Forgetful Elephant and Artwork

Poem by Anthony

Zach, the Forgetful Elephant – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Zach, a young elephant was upset

Since unlike his contemporaries, he’d always forget.

Homework, notes, the ladder for his bunk

If it wasn’t attached he’d misplace his trunk.

Consuming more ginseng would be a sure bet…

Heinrich, a Happy Hippopotamus – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Heinrich was a hippo Henry for short

Not the typical hippo of sorts.

His double-sized chin

Always carries a grin.

In laughter, often snort…

Waterfall Artwork & Poem

Poem by Anthony

Precious Waterfall

Bathe me in your falls.
Pure essence cleansing me clean.
Washing away pain.
Purify my very soul.
Easing me to peace and grace…
-AAA 06/20/2024

I have always been fascinated with waterfalls, and because of this, I decided to try my hand at drawing one. I feel that it came out okay for my first attempt. I will definitely give it another shot soon.

Artwork Outside my Window

This was the first time I drew something totally by hand and did not have a step by step instructions on how to. I created the view that I see outside of my room at my home. I love the way that it turned out.

Who do I spend the most time with?

Who do you spend the most time with?

The person I spent the most time with is my niece. She is still young enough where is likes to hang out with her Auntie and of course I take advantage of it. Both of us enjoy creating art and that is what we do when we are together.

We often spend our time drawing and coloring. Sometimes we choose a theme for our art, such as animals, nature, or even our favorite cartoon characters. My niece loves using colorful markers and glitter, and I enjoy introducing her to different art techniques and materials. It’s always a fun and positive experience when we get creative together.

Artwork – Cinderella

Cinderella has always been one of my favorite fairy tales, and I have always been fascinated by her story. So, naturally, I felt compelled to draw her. I am quite pleased with the way the drawing turned out. However, upon reflection, I believe that if I were to do it again now, I could further improve the result. Nevertheless, I still hold a deep admiration for the way it came out initially.
