Cups and Saucers (Alice in Wonderland project) as of Oct 21, 2024


Here is my painting for Porter Mill's Alice in Wonderland show, as it looked on Oct 21th.  The Mad Hatter's tea party is the source of the quotation* and the inspiration for the  multicolored cups and saucers.  At this point, I continued painting a second coat of the lime green, which is lighter and smoother this time.  As I repainted, I fixed as many mistakes as I could. I also worked on cleaning up the white borders, and FINALLY corrected the mistake in the last row of text, changing "less than nothing" to "more than nothing."  But I still hadn't noticed the missing quotation mark in the first row. . 

*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. . . .
