"Alice in a Da Vinci Portrait" is the title - one of my favourite Alice in Wonderland paintings I've done yet! This is the second in my sub-series called "Alice in Other Lands" which are paintings featuring Alice in a variety of unusual circumstances, often inspired by art history. Here we have my Alice in a portrait themed reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci. You can see many da Vinci references in this painting - the Mona Lisa, Lady with an Ermine, landscape elements, Madonna of the Rocks, etc.. Alice is looking very mysterious with her Mona Lisa smile, and that Cheshire Cat of mine looks a bit too wily to sit for a portrait.... This is a painting celebrating my loves of Alice in Wonderland and renaissance art - no reason why the two shouldn't go together! I've always thought that Alice's adventures should continue into many other bizarre tales, and you can expect to see more from me in the future. My own lowbrow big eyed take da Vinci's work - a celebration of my love for Art History in general as well. This is my own original acrylic painting. ©Jasmine Becket-Griffith - prints are available at http://www.strangeling.com and http://zazzle.com/strangeling*
