Anyone for Croquet 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 Carroll’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.
Great set Anni, I especially love the ratty topiary… poor flamingos! xx :)
Hi Cianna, They are funny little hedgehogs…cos in the book Alice uses the flamingo in a game of croquet to hit the ball…which is really a curled up hedgehog. I might add that the hedgehogs had the good sense to uncurl and creep away :) ~ Anni xox
Okay, I totally see the hedgehoggyness now, doh! It always upset me as a kid how the poor hedgehogs and flamingos got used so poorly… you did a beautiful job, enjoy the exhibition Anni. :)
I think the SPCA would have something to say about that. Thanks Cianna ~ Anni ;)
