Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project) as of Oct 22, 2024

This is my painting as it looked on October 22nd.  This is for the Alice-in-Wonderland themed show at Porter Mill.  The quotation* is from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which also inspired thedmulticolored cups and saucers. Here you can see I was finally resolving some of the problems with the colors.  The biggest change was that I moved the light blue a bit towards purple, making it periwinkle, and lightened it, creating contrast with the turquoise blue.  As I applied the second coat of each color, I was also checking lines and measurements and correcting mistakes.  I used white paint to mark corrections on the cups and saucers.  I had finally noticed and corrected the mistake in the bottom row of text, and changed "less than nothing" to "more than nothing."  However, I still had not noticed the missing quotation mark in 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.""
