It's A New Day

It is definitely a new day for Walter and me in our lives as we are preparing to go commercial with some of our work.

It is also a task that is proving much more challenging than we ever dreamed. However, it is mine and his dream and we are going to pursue it.

He will be retired in less than two years and we fully intend to travel, equip our home with a full studio, work with models, and basically extend our capabilities and offerings extensively.

For instance, I haven't painted in years. The above picture is really tempting me to get my easel out and get to work on a canvas. Needless to say, especially to all of you artist out there, this is going to be a time consuming and very expensive project to get rolling.

So please be patient with me as we are working to pull all of this together. I will do my best one by one over the next few weeks to try to drop in and visit everyone. My posting will now be at random and hopefully it too will take a new direction as I wish to send out positive, enlightening, and even fun posts!

With this in mind, I wish to thank everyone in the world for any and all awards and tags. But, I simply won't have the time to be doing tags or accepting awards. I already have so many that it is amazing. So please, pass along awards and tags to some of the new kids on the block just starting up. I truly treasure every single one of you that always thinks of me. But, between returning to the canvas, starting up our studio commercially, and also working everyday to seek out new photos my days are simply filled to the brim.

I will end by asking everyone to remember both Walter and me and also pray as our next few months are going to be extremely busy and also very expensive. This is a big jump for us and what little savings we do have are vanishing very quickly. But, what's life if you don't take risks and seek out each new day as a new new start?

If you feel inclined or simply want to help two artist achieve their dream then please know we are accepting any and all donations. We have installed a new Paypal button in the left sidebar. All payments will go to Shinade Studios. Any amount at all will be of great help and we thank each and every person in advance for everything, whether you donate, or not, we truly treasure every single person that drops in.

Oh thank you so much June for those words of encouragement.

We have already jumped and just praying now that we won't need a net. Because our net is jst about gone.

But, it is our dream and we are going for it. I know if we do our best we will be blessed.

So many places I visited just today had so much to offer me and all in the areas where I needed help.

God is indeed wondrous. Thank you so much for coming right over and leaving such a wonderful comment.

You brought tears to my eyes!!

Hi Mike,
How very wonderful and very typical of you to come right over too!! You are such a special and dear person. I have truly been blessed in so many ways that I can't count them.

I will probably miss your 1000th tomorrow as my day is full handling business matters.

Congratulations again and thanks so much for just being you!!

How wonderful that you're going to paint and get involved with your local art organization! How exciting! Let us know how it goes, and what discoveries you make.

And now you're going to shoot portraists, too. Who knows where that may lead?

And you found bird eggs, to boot. Sounds like you had a great day, Jackie!

Shinade aka Jackie July 23, 2009 10:39 AM  

Lynda oh my goodness thank you so much for taking the time to drop by.

I know how very very busy you are at this time also!

Yes I am very excited about everything. I am learning a great deal through this process and that always is a good thing.

It was just grand of you to drop by!! You are such an inspiration for me!

I hope you have a grand weekend!
Hugs,
Jackie:-)
