On October 29th, I continued working on this painting for the "Alice in Wonderland" show at Porter Mill Studio. The quotation* is from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and that was was also the inspiration for the cups and saucers painted in a changing color scheme. You can see that I repainted the pink areas. I added some white to the pink to lighten it a bit, but the real goal was to make the paint more opaque so I could get a smooth finish. I also continued my efforts to make the shapes uniform. At this point, I was concentrating on making the shapes of the cups the same. 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. . . .
