Here is my painting as it looked on Oct. 16th. This is for an upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" show at Porter Mill Studios. The multicolored teacups and saucers and the quotation are references to the Mad Hatter's tea party. I continued adding colors, and this time it was red. (There are nine colors, each going into five spaces: outiside of cup, inside of cup, outer ring of saucer, inner circle of saucer, and background.) At this point, I was just putting down a first coat, to make sure all the colors would work together. I still hadn't noticed two mistakes in the text: a missing quotation mark in the top row (after tea), and an incorrrect word in the bottom row (which should read "more than nothing." I was still concentrating on painting those colors; it would take a long time for me to notice the errors in the 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. . . .
