The Mad Hatter











Finally I managed to complete my mad hatter painting...taken a few months of on and off painting but I've done it. I love this piece it's been soooooo much fun that I really didn't want it to end but it has and now I'm very happy with the result. I loved being able to use a vibrant and bold pallet, it's one of the main reasons I wanted to paint him in the first place, he's so lively and he makes me smile. It's oil on canvas size 24 inches x 31 inches so quite a large piece... I felt this without a doubt was a statement piece and needed the canvas size to be large to give it the wow factor...it just wouldnt have had the same impact if it was small.
