Help me win the trip of a lifetime! Newest Jazz Painting

If you are a fan of mine, friend of mine or just a really nice innocent bystander, I am asking you for a favor. I have entered the myartspace.com contest and am hoping to win a weeks artist retreat trip to the French Riviera. Why you might ask? Because after working hard at this career and dream, to be able to spend time painting there would be a dream come true. I am a dream chaser, always have been and might as well go after this one. Dreams can come true.

The voting begins July 1st, all you have to do is go to myartspace.com and search for Angel Turner Dyke and give me a vote. I sure would appreciate it!
I've been working on a new painting this week.. it is almost finished.. here is a sneak peek of it. I hate to reveal it all before it is finished. So take a peek and let me know what you think of my newest jazz painting! I love the softer tones this is work is exhibiting. Something about it is so soothing! I love it! I've still got alot of detail work to do before this one is finished. I'll post it later when it's complete!

Antebellum Anniversary

I've been busy this week..Tuesday my husband and I celebrated our 19th year anniversary. Seems like just yesterday. To my surprise, he had arranged a secret over night get away to Vicksburg. I love historical towns-- they inspire me. We stayed at the Cedar Grove Inn
an antebellum plantation. You can actually see a cannon ball stuck in the wall shot into the home by the Yankees.

My hubby Joel is so wonderful. I feel so fortunate to have married my soulmate. We have been through alot but it has been worth the few ups and downs. He is my rock and my best friend. Joel I love you more today than I did 19 years ago.

I've been working on a new painting in progress.. I'll post tomorrow.

Have a great weekend!

Latest project now completed

I recently had the honor of working on a stage / lighting project. Basically we worked as a team to add lighting elements and art to modernize the stage at Life Church West Monroe.
Here is a look at the completed project, along with the 7 large abstracts I painted.
It was alot of work, but alot of fun as well.

Right now we are working on several projects that could be large scale. Negotiations are under way. I'll keep you posted once we have some ends tied up.

I've also relaunched my more serious abstract site, thought it is not 100 %
