Unusual subject for you, Seok, but well rendered.

Looks good to me Seok.

I love the subject, love the story and love the painting. I think you have a good combination of loose and tighter brushwork

He is so cute, Seok. A painting with a story, I like it!

Do you remember the Mobo horse Seok, this reminds me of it. A wonderful nostalgic painting!

This is funny and a story to go with it, very different for you Seok, I think he has dandruff!.

Very unusual and interesting subject very well painted

A great robot, I think I remember seeing a film with that robot in, it scared me! Well portrayed Seok, and love the story.

Thanks so much, everyone! Christine, yes, I do remember the Mobo horse. I painted the one my brother had and you were the one who told me that it was the Mobo horse, I think! Alan, the very mundane truth is that in my enthusiasm for some other painting, I had accidentally spattered some watercolor paper I had on the table. So when I painted this robot using the spotty paper, I decided to incorporate the "robo-dandruff"! lol!

I love it Seok! A lovely story behind it too.

Love your narrative Seok and the painting to go with it.

Thanks very much, Margaret and Fiona!

Vintage 1960s toy robot belonging to my brother. The left hand was mangled after he threw it out of the window. Someone had told him that the robot was indestructible, so he decided to test it out. :) Watercolor on Arches paper. I was trying to paint loose, but lost my way with this very structured subject. Back to the drawing board....
