Last Wednesday I taught an art class at Movers & Shakers Kids Toys. I had two young girls attend the class. They learned a little about Claude Monet and created their own versions of his famous "Bridge Over A Pond Of Water Lilies" painting.

I will be teaching five more art classes this summer.
It's refreshing to see young kids interested in art.
Who knows...maybe one of them will be a famous artist someday! How cool it would be to say that I helped influence them.
