I have had the pleasure of working with CSN Stores this past year doing some great giveaways as well as some reviews of their wonderful products, so when they asked if I would be interested in doing another review I jumped at the chance!

CSN Stores has over 200+ stores with all sorts of products for you, your fur children, and your home, such as tv stands for flat screens
:
CSN Stores has other items for your home as well, including furniture, home decor, and cookware. They have lovely holiday dishes as well, just in time for Christmas!:
I will be reviewing one such product soon, so be sure to check back to see what I've chosen to review!

No new paintings today, I was out on a golf course driving around one of those crazy carts while my soon-to-be 35 year old husband played a round of golf(his B-Day is tomorrow)...luckily it was a beautiful day and I'll admit kind of fun racing around the course in the little cart.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention that over at Daisy Pink Cupcake
there is a DESIGN CONTEST going on until August 5th and there will be THREE wonderful prizes given away which include:
1) a Personalized Burlap Runner by Grace Sorenson
2) 3 Miniature Silk Lanterns by Karen Gaffney
and last, but not least
3) a Custom Miniature 3"x4" Painting by Yours Truly (ME!)
(*and a surprise gift from Daisy!)
So, be sure to check out how to enter here and good luck!

(**ALSO: I will be picking another winner from those who entered my 1st ever Blog Art Giveaway tomorrow! So be sure to check back now! ;o)

(*you can view the step-by-step photos of this piece here)

(*Update: I just replaced the photo, I think it is a bit closer to how the painting looks in real life...paintings always look better up close & personal! ;o)
Ok, so it is yet another slate grey day here in good ol' Michigan so as per usual I was not able to get a very good photo of Rhoda's painting, but I think I am finished with it...I'll look again tomorrow when, hopefully we will have a bit of sun!(http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/ was the 1st winner in my recent Blog Art Giveaway...the 2nd winner is still deciding on which photo she wants me to do...no rush & no worries)
....and as I said before I thought why not bring a little more sunshine into summer by picking a winner EVERY 2 WEEKS of a Miniature 3"x 4" painting of a simple object(no portraits, please), until the end of summer from those who originally entered my 1st ever Blog ART Giveaway, and so, drum-roll please....the winner
is:

I thought I would also share a couple rather random things from my life, heck, why not! Well I am turning the dreaded 37 this Sunday, you would not believe how many grey hairs I am getting...anyway, I bought this AWESOME Color Mixing Guide from Magic Palette as a Birthday gift for myself and I am IN LOVE! If you are an artist, I say grab one of these guides from Jerrys Artarama (best prices on many art supplies) it shows you how to mix over 841 colors!!! How good is that??


Finally, I had to share this photo of a charming little heart-shaped cherry I found amongst my stash in the fridge...isn't that the sweetest? :o)
Have a great weekend!







Today I have been working on a painting for http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/ , one of 2 winners from my recent Blog ART Giveaway and I thought it might be fun to show some progress photos! I'm not sure if I will complete the painting today, but I wanted to show you where I am up to. I am trying a new technique today that I saw Karin Jurick use on her blog and it really seems to have made painting this piece a bit easier. I find it so interesting to see how a fellow artist approaches painting a subject. I often feel as though I am painting blind as I never attended art school...I was accepted at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston, but choose teaching instead. I often wonder where I would be now had I taken that different path, but then again I wouldn't take back the 6 years that I taught 3rd grade...those are memories I will always cherish! Stay tuned for the finish line! ;o) (*UPDATE, the painting is finished!:o)

A super warm thank-you to all who participated in my 1st Blog ART Giveaway! I had my husband do the honors of choosing the 2 WINNERS!!, and they are....

PS~Erin
&
Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality

AND due to the wonderful response from this giveaway I thought why not extend it a bit by choosing 1 winner each week from July 17 till the end of the summer! :o) for a MINIATURE Custom Painting (approx. 3"x 4") of a Simple Object You Treasure(no portraits please)...the winners will be chosen from those who originally entered my Blog Giveaway, so no need to re-enter! It's my way of spreading a little bit of summer sunshine, so be sure to stay tuned! :o)
