Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project) as of Oct 23, 2024

Here is my painting as it looked on October 23rd.  I painted this for the Alice-in-Wonderland themed show at Porter Mill.  The quotation* is from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which also inspired the cups and saucers in a color scheme that shifts in each square.  Here the biggest change is that a lightened the purple for the second coat..  I added some white to modify the color but also to make the paint more opaque for a smoother  finish.  As I repainted each of the colors, I also was measuring shapes and lines and making corrections, marking errors in white so I could find them easily against the bright colors.

Yes, I had finally noticed and corrected the mistake in the bottom row of text, and changed "less than nothing" to "more than nothing."  But no, 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.""
