Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project as of Oct 20, 2024)

Here is my painting for Porter Mill's Alice in Wonderland show , as it looked on Oct 20th.  The multicolored cups and saucers and the quotation* are inspired by the Mad Hatter's tea party.  At this point, I was doing a second coat of each of the colors, changing some of them for more contrast, and for all of them adding a bit of white paint to increase opacity for a smoother look.  Here I think I had just repainted the lime green (starting with cup number 2), trying to straighten lines and fix mistakes as I went along.  And notice the two mistakes in the text are still there: a missing quotation mark after tea  in the first row of text, and a mistake in the last three words in the bottom row, which should read "more than nothing."  

*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.""
