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 bloging is all about.  Without your input, my blog becomes simply a collection of my thoughts.  

This is just the beginning...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.

Right now I am feverishly preparing for my summer art fairs which begin the third week in May.  At this late date, my focus is on finishing a couple of last minute drawings, getting everything framed and organized. 

Take some time, browse my Website and my Blog,...come back in May to see alot more Art, the addition of some "Photography Tips", and to read the winning essays and poems of our "Young Authors".

Sincerely,
Marsha Robinett
