Amazing Art Kids at The Wizard of Art

I don't think I've posted the kids' art since summer! And, I have to say, it's been nice to teach there on a more consistent schedule, and really get to know the kids better, as well as their art. 

Here are some of my faves, since fall.

Spectacular Spring at Descanso Gardens! Part 3 ~ Waltz of the Flowers

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the visit!

The Camellia Garden

Oh yes, music Maestro! 

The only limits you have

are the limits

you believe.

~Wayne Dyer

Although we may not be aware
of what is "moving the checker,"
life has a purpose,
and each step of our journey
has something to teach us."
~Wayne Dyer

Our original nature is love,

kindness,

gentleness,

and service to others.

~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

"I Can See Clearly Now."

Off on a dark, foresty, side path …

See the Beauty in Everything.

As you awaken to your divine nature,

you'll begin to appreciate beauty

in everything you see,

touch, and experience.

~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

The Rose Garden

Anonymously perform acts of kindness,

expecting nothing in return, 

not even a thank-you.

The universal all-creating Spirit 

responds to acts of kindness 

with the response:

"How may I be kind to you.?

~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

There is a secret garden 

where miracles and magic abound,

and it's available to anyone

who makes the choice to visit there.

~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Let the world know why you're here,

and do it with passion.

~Dr. Wayne Dyer
