The Situation Room
June 7, 2013 by
The Situation Room is my Cyber Studio-Website. It’s where whatever is currently in progress on my work table can be seen. Also, it’s a Cyber Voice for my intentions and what’s in the current plan.— my version of retiring to the Drawing Room. I keep a Blog where I can talk to myself about what I’m creating— what’s on my mind. Enter at your own risk. I keep copies of my archival artwork organized in theme portfolios for quick reference. The flat files are my cyber filing cabinets. The Situation Room is where I work and keep track of what I’m working on. It’s where I punch my time clock.
What’s currently on the table?
Now it’s ShowDown and that’s my version of “I just took the show down in San Rafael” and my next Situation there will be this Friday night. I will volunteer for the Open Studios Preview Party. It will be nice to be on the other side of the excitement.

Coffee Painting Workshop | May 16th.
I have reserved a classroom at ArtWorks Downtown in San Rafael for my first workshop. There are already several people signed up and I think the current show also in ArtWorks Downtown will draw more interest because there will be coffee paintings on display and an announcement for the Coffee Painting workshop. I’m working on all of the details but it is a fun exploration and I hope this will be the first of many more workshops.
Coffee Painting History
I’ve started googling Coffee Painting to see what other artists have been doing with coffee. Here’s a Great One!
You are not The Target – You are On Target.

I am not being singled out to take all the shots. When I stop taking aim at what I think is the only target things look a lot different. It’s not the end of the road. I just need to find the detour and get back on the road. I’m still right on target.
Healthy Self Confidence may be your Default

I had never heard “Start a blog” suggested as a way to build self confidence but I just read this on Live Free and Bloom as one of their 10 “rarely considered” self-confidence boosting actions. For some reason this triggered my thoughts and I began to wonder where or when self confidence originated in the first place and what affects its growth or demise.
#4 Start a blog. Creating and writing for a blog is not only fun, but it also can provide a great service for people and allow you to build extra income. It involves a variety of interesting skills and allows you to express yourself and share your knowledge. Even if you don’t share your blog with others, it is a great way to chronicle your thoughts and ideas.
