Through the glass.... Enter Wonderland!

I have recently become a fan of a truly amazing artist named Leilani Joy. She does Acrylic paintings on wood panels and illustrations. I came across her Youtube channel and when i was watching her videos, i was inspired by how passionate she is about art. After seeing her Alice in wonderland series which included Alice, The Red Queen, The Mad Hattress and The White Rabbit. So I decided to create my own wonderland series but i decided to expand mine by adding The Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, The March Hare. So far i've finished The Red Queen, The Hatter and the White Rabbit. I'm gonna post the process photos as soon as possible. :)
