The Blue Caterpillar by Anni Morris Acrylic on canvas Size: 12 × 12 inches One of a series of paintings I have been working on, based on the theme of Lewis Carol’s book Alice in Wonderland. I have so enjoyed painting on theme I hope to continue it and maybe include Alice Through the Looking Glass too. These paintings are for an exhibition which is opening tomorrow called Pocket Rockets. It is being held by the NZ Art Guild and 19 artists are submitting work. All works are small, no larger than 12 × 12 inches. It is at the Art Station Art Gallery, Anzac Avenue, Dunedin, New Zealand and runs until the 22nd May.
This is fun painting. I love that movie too. Alice in Wonderland. I just saw the new movie they have on it but I think the cartoon is so much better. Good luck with your show. Your work is wonderful.
Hello Monica, I have seen the stills of the movie by Tim Burton, but not the entire movie yet. I like the traditional book by choice. It leaves it up to each individuals own imagination..to form their own particular image of Alice and her adventures. I wanted to add red Opium poppies in this painting . Thank you ~ Anni :)
Thanks so much Cianna, I loved using the reds in this. I had to do a wee bit of research because I wanted to give him a Victorian smoking hat/cap with a tassel. I used hints of gold here and there which you can’t really see glisten in this photo ~ Anni :) xox
