A "Point" to Consider


Pencil
Shavings...
"The Results of Making a Point."
The drawing "Pencil Shavings" is a new work for 2007, and was created specifically as the signature piece for my blog.

We each make a point...in the way we dress, in how we interact with others, with the things we speak and write, and yes, even with our art. 

The Random House Dictionary defines "shavings" as..."the part left behind or the part that remains after the greater part is removed." 

As we move through life, making our "point", we leave "shavings" of ourselves with each person with whom we interact.  Be it negative or positive...we are molded by these interactions and enriched by what we receive.

So, you ask, "What is my point"?  You are the reason for my writings and my art.  You are what makes my blog work.  It's not just "my drawings" and "my writings" that people come back to see...they also return to read "your comments".  The sharing of opinions and information is what blogging is all about.  Without your input, my blog becomes simply a collection of my thoughts.  

I want my blog to be a fun, informative place to visit.  My hope is that you will return often to see what new things have been added, view some of my latest drawings and learn what inspires me.

Sincerely,
Marsha Robinett

I love your art! It is so original and full of depth. My favorites so far are Fork and Spoon Club and Perfect Companions. The new piece, Pencil Shavings, is fantastic too.

Can't wait to see what you do next.

Stephanie,
So good to hear from you...thanks for the nice comments about my work. I should have more drawings posted in the next few weeks. I have been finalizing the initial line drawings for the last of my new still life. I have some really interesting things planned out on paper. So do check back later.

I was given the "Forks and Spoons" print as a gift. I was so impressed with your work that I purchased both "Onion and Wine Country" prints. The three drawings always invoke a response from guests in my home. I hear "what wondeful photographs." I always reply back "No, those are drawings!" Thus the debate and conversation begins. I display them proudly. What a talent you have!

Thank for sharing so much of your art and your techniques. I came across your webpage last night and already I am learning and incorporating the techniques I learnt here. I am a beginner with a natural knack at shading, however, it felt I had reached a plato and was getting the effects I wanted, now I am learning more from you and this makes me sooooo happy! Thank you!!!!

Best regards,

Natasha Amarelle.

P.S. If you have any further tips or would like to contact me for anything, please do so.

Dear Marsha,

Thank you for your beautiful and challenging work.

I had been adventuring with graphite, carbon and charcoal. At a sticking point I searched the net. Thank you for being there with you creative spirit, beautiful work and very helpful tips.
:)
