Here is my painting as it looked on October 11th. This is for Porter Mill's upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" show. I began applying the first coat of color, beginning with hot pink. There are 9 colors, and each color goes into 5 shapes, as you can see here: cup, outside of saucer, inside of saucer, elipse (inside cup) and background. The cups, saucers, and changeable color scheme is inspired by the Mad Hatter's tea part. I also worked on the lettering for the quotation:
"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.""
And yes, I carefully lettered the mistake I had made. (The last three words should be "more than nothing," rather than "less than nothing.") It took a long time for me to notice. . . .
