APRIL CONTEST: Lisa's robot invention worked great, until it did this...

@Aaron_T I really like the feel of this. the big flat colors in the bg - feels almost vintage poster/national parks esque.

I'm uploading a second version of my picture because I finally managed to reduce it's file size! The one I posted previously was terrible quality as I had to resort to taking a photo of it on my ipad! Loving the fantastic entries this month, I'll now have a chance to enjoy looking at them all.

@kittytreets I'm glad I wasn't the only one! and thanks for the nice words! Your piece is very comforting, great use of a soft pallet throughout!

Lisa was having trouble keeping her ranch hands lately. First Joe decided he wanted a farm of his own. Then Jack became a rodeo star. She couldn’t even hold onto the laziest one. Tom got a new job testing mattresses!

She got to work, and created a robot capable of doing the chores of three ranch hands. He could build fences faster than anyone. Lisa’s robot invention worked great... until it did this!

@EliaMurrayArt thanks for the flying boot idea, it added to the action . I also changed some other things based on feedback from others so it was great to hear what people had to offer.

@johnchoi thanks very much

[kittytreets]

General question... is it cool if I post my piece on my social media? Or do we need to wait until after the contest is done? Thanks all!

[carlianne]

@kittytreets There's no rules against posting your work to your social media!! You own your work 100%

[kittytreets]

@carlianne Okay, great. Thanks! ;o)

This is a gardening robot, created to trim bushes, but instead trims the dog!

I'm a day late, but I finished this a while back...I used watercolor and a little Prisma Colored pencil.

[kittytreets]

@Laurel-Goetz-Donkervoet This is really sweet. I just got prismacolor pencils and I am seriously impressed!

@marek-halko love this -right now I'd play with that robot -I want to play with somebody a good strategy board game like Catan.
