I had an idea for something to paint and I went for it. A robot dreaming of visiting the stars. This is in #ink and #watercolor. I welcome feedback on the watercolor in particular, as I'm pretty new to it. It came out somewhat close to what I imagined, so I count that as a win. It has a bit of a #kidlit feel to it, I think. #MastoArt#art

Quotes that show #kidlit is not just for children:
“It was morning. Some of the sky was yellow, some the softest blue. One small cloud scuttled along. Strange how everything below can be such death and chaos and pain while above the sky is peace, sweet blue gentleness. I heard a shaman say once, the Ancestors want our souls to be like the blue sky.”
―Shannon Hale, Book of a Thousand Days.
“Living with uncertainty is like having a rock in your shoe. If you can’t remove the rock, you have to figure out how to walk despite it. There is simply no other choice.”
