Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project) as of Oct 27, 2024

Here is my painting for the "Alice in Wonderland" show at Porter Mill Studies as it looked on October 27, 2024. The quotation* is taken from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which was also the inspiration for the cups and saucers painted in colors that shift in each square.  At this point, I had just repainted the dark green, but had modified the color by adding white.  This made it lighter and also made the paint more opaque so the application was smoother.  As I proceeded with repainting each color, I also continued to  check my shapes for consistency, marking mistakes with white so that I could find them later and fix them.  

Although I had finally noticed and corrected the mistake in the bottom row of text, and changed "less than nothing" to "more than nothing,"  I still had not noticed the missing quotation mark in the top row of text.

*Here is the quotation, as it should be:

"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. "I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, so I can't take more." "You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter, "It's very easy to take more than nothing.""
