Art Notes

“Now, where did you come from?” – Queen of Hearts

Disney’s story of young Alice continues as she wanders the Tulgey Woods, encountering wonderfully colorful characters, but she’s worried that she won’t find her way home. The Cheshire Cat has appeared to Alice to explain “the Queens Ways”, and to show her the shortcut to the Queen and possibly Alice’s way home. The Queen of Hearts has made her majestic appearance and admires her rose garden till she discovers someone has painted the roses red. At this time the Queen of Hearts notices Alice and exclaims, “Who is this”. After introducing herself to the Queen, Alice is invited to play a game of croquet with her, and wonderful chaos ensues.

Thomas Kinkade Studios® painting Disney Queen of Hearts is inspired by the literary genius of Lewis Carroll and the animated mastery of Walt Disney, and is a follow-up to the Thomas Kinkade Studios artwork Disney Alice in Wonderland and Disney Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
