On the Easel - Mad Hatter's Wonderland Tea Party with Crayons - Daily Acrylic Trompe L'Oeil Painting

It was also my first attempt working on Aquabord, using an acrylic watercolor-style technique, and I'm really pleased with how the surface and the acrylic behaved in just the way I prefer, and enabled much richer, deeper and brighter colors. I'll post for sale soon. Thanks for looking!
