Mona Replaced
By Hyacinth
I stepped back from the canvas and look up and down at it.
Yes, this was perfect. My masterpiece was done. Now this painting needed some attention! I grabbed the phone and punched the numbers. Ring, ring, ring!
“Hello, Check magazine, how may I help you today?”
“Move out, J.Lo, because Hyacinth the artist is coming your way!”
The next day, my front lawn was covered with journalists and reporters of all kinds! I even saw J.T. Stadium, the famous reporter, standing on my porch!
I quickly put on my best clothing and brushed my hair like crazy. I popped a couple of Tic-Tacs into my mouth and opened the front door.
20-no,40-even 50- people stampeded into my house! It was like one of my family reunions when the pie eating contest was opening up!
“Calm down people, calm down!” I barked, but nobody heard me. “QUIET!” I bellowed. Everyone turned their heads and stared at me. “The painting is downstairs. Wanna see it?”
I got mauled by 50 people trying to get down to my basement. I rushed down after them. All of them were staring at my painting.
“This…its amazing!” one said.
“Wonderful!” said another. Then, J.T. Stadium stepped forward.
“Beau.Ti.Ful.” he stated.
“R-really?” I stuttered.
“Yes. I love how you used a black background. The grass is a wonderful neon green, and looks like low, small mountains like a kindergarteners. The lime-green chickadee flying in the sky with that one wing is fabulous. And that house that looks like a hexagon-dashing! And I love how those are the only things. And using crayons was a fab idea.”
I was amazed. He adored it!
Many people wanted my painting in their museum, all across the world! But I chose the one in France, with the Mona Lisa in it. Guess what? They kicked the Mona Lisa out, and put mine in!
