1st EVER Cocoa & Hearts Giveaway...
Welcome back! How was your weekend? I've been missing NYC again, mainly that BIG city vibe. Some of you who live in suburbia like myself may know what I mean.... Oh well, back to work as usual.
So, here I am bringing you a lovely GIVEAWAY- not mine, but from Linh over at La La Linh blog. The cool part is she's giving away one of my 8x10 Cocoa & Hearts paintings! What a generous thing for her to do!!
You can go here to enter the giveaway, but please be kind & follow the rules. GIVEAWAY closes on July 14th! Good luck!

Cocoa & Hearts Coming Soon....(Via Made By Girl)
Yesterday we did a photo shoot with most of my paintings for Cocoa & Hearts...BUT, believe it or not, we STILL need to shoot a few more.
We're definitely getting there though.....Nonetheless, I LOVE the way the paintings look in the photos, BIG smile! In fact, here's a sneak peek at some of the abstract pieces that should be available for purchase.
I've been getting several inquiries already about my paintings, so if you haven't signed up to be notified for the launch date, you can do so here.
Enjoy...

Elizabeth Sullivan's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)
Remember when I posted about Interior Designer Elizabeth Sullivan? She's the designer who put together this SUPER CUTE nursery here. Well, she was also kind enough to share her home with Made By Girl! I've fallen in love with her bedroom as well as the ARTWORK in her living room! Talk about bringing some color to a space RIGHT?!
Did you spot something in her home that you really like? What's your favorite?
I love when I feel inspired by others...it puts me in the mood to decorate my own home and think of ways to add some interest. Say hello to Elizabeth by heading over to her blog, Modern 24/7. Thanks Elizabeth!

My Office Bookshelf...(Via Made By Girl)
One of the things I worked on this past weekend was my office bookshelf. My husband suggested we paint the back of the bookshelf in 'black beauty' by Benjamin Moore... I agreed & TA DAAA!! He was tired of all the white in the home office & I guess I was too.... To see what the shelves looked like BEFORE, go here.
I've also been working on some paintings, which I'll be REVEALING soon.... for sale!
Painting can be HAZARDOUS to pretty hands, I need a MANICURE bad!
How cute is my BIBLE wrapped in Python??
ART by Thomas Nozkowski .......(Via Made By Girl)
Elle Decor's October 2010 issue featured an artist named Thomas Nozkowski. Did you see this feature??
I'm a HUGE art lover, I find Nozkowski's work to be quite compelling! For me, the colors & the use of unusual shapes are what attracts me to his pieces. Thomas has been painting for more than 30 years....but I REALLY hope his work will be talked and written about more. Enjoy!

Picasso: His Recent Drawings 1966-1968... (Via Made By Girl)
After seeing Nicole's post about this Vintage Picasso book, I definitely wanted to post mine! I have so many books and this one is DEFINITELY one of my favorites! The book is called "Picasso: His Recent Drawings, 1966-1968" and was published in 1969 with 254 pages. It retails for anywhere between $20 to $300....from what I've seen online.
So my advice would be to make sure you look around for the BEST PRICE if you really want to add this book to your collection. This book is a MUST have for art-lovers like myself, below are some of my favorite pages.

Art of Heather Williams.....(Via Made by Girl)
Some of you may recall me blogging about the art of Heather Williams here, but I just love these prints! She uses the most amazing colors don't you think? My favorite is the Rose Trio print, it's just STUNNING & every time I look at it, it puts me in a good mood!
Heather also offers other custom sizes if you think the 8x10 ones are a bit too small for your taste. For me personally, I prefer my artwork to be BIG...and the Rose Trio print, I can picture it in a 30x30. But that's just me..Check out her shop to see the rest of her work!

Susan Brown's Romantic Paintings....(Via Made By Girl)
I came across Susan Brown's paintings some time ago and found them to be so romantic and pretty! These are great pieces of artwork for those of you looking to add flowery-type ART to your home! On her site she offers originals and prints of her originals as well.
For me, I'd rather have the ORIGINALS.....I need to TOUCH the canvas and feel the paint texture! I was also very drawn to Susan's use of colors, she's not afraid to splash hot pinks and bright reds on one canvas... all the while still looking great!

Colorful Art Pieces.......
ART can make such an impact in a home, don't you think? I love LARGE paintings in a dining room area and in entryways. In fact, many of the art hanging on my walls here at home, I painted. However, for those of you who aren't that SKILLED in the drawing or painting, there is hope!
You can still OWN something original & handmade by artists from all over the world. Below are a few artists, who I think may bring a nice POP of COLOR into your homes with their work. Enjoy!

You may recognize the drawing (of the face) below from the Mademoiselle Frou Frou shop, I came across the painting online and drew it for myself.
