“The Casual Visitor” is one of Robert’s famous sgraffito drawings.  Commonly called scratchboards, these intricate compositions are created by first covering a white surface with black ink and then scratching through the ink to reveal the white below.  It is obviously a painstaking and quite unforgiving process.  Since Rtobert’s paintings are so colorful, his mastery of line can sometimes be overlooked.  In this portrait of a sea otter one can see every bit of fur, carefullly crought to life with the engraving tools that the artist uses to litterally scratch out hhis image.
