Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project) as of Oct 30, 2024

On October 30th, I continued working on this painting for  the "Alice in Wonderland" show at Porter Mill Studio. The quotation*  from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, was was also the inspiration for changing color scheme for the cups and saucers.  At this point I had applied a second coat to the turquoise areas as well as the orange areas, making them lighter and smoother with the secon application.  As I worked, I continued to work on consistency of all the shapes, measuring and making corrections as I went along. 

   And finally I inserted that missing quotation mark in from the top row of text.  I actually didn't notice the error myself; a cousin of mine had to point it out.

*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.""
