Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project) as of Oct 28, 2024


I continued working on this painting on October 28th. This is for  the "Alice in Wonderland" show at Porter Mill Studio. 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 On the 28th,  I repainted the orange areas.  I added a bit of white to the orange which lightened it a bit, but the real purpose was to make the paint more opaque for a smoother finish.  I also continued revising lines and shapes for consistency.   Errors waiting to be fixed are marked in white. And no, I still had not realized that a quotation mark was missing from 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.""

To be continued. . . .
