On October 9th, I continued to work on this project for the upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" show at Porter Mill. My painting of teacups and saucers is inspired by the Mad Hatter's tea party. I am using a changeable color scheme inspired by the "musical chairs" aspect of the tea party itself, as the characters move around the table. I worked the colors scheme out with markers in my sketch on paper ahead of time with Sharpie markers (posted here Sept. 20th). The cups and saucers are combined with a quotation from the novel.* On October 9th, my focus was placement of the text for the quotation. You can see I am roughing it in with blue conte crayon. Perhaps you might notice that I made a mistake. (The last three words should be "more than nothing," rather than "less than nothing." It took me a long time to notice that I had made a mistake! To be continued.
In case you can't read the quotation, here it is:
"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.""
