Like most children of my era I was intrigued by\u00a0The Wizard of Oz<\/i>\u00a0during its annual presentation on our TV screen. This adventure provided the ultimate daydream for a young artist whose imagination yearned to “follow the\u00a0Yellow Brick Road<\/i>“.<\/p>\n

In the first Oz painting we see\u00a0Dorothy<\/i>\u00a0and friends as they view the fabled\u00a0Emerald City<\/i>\u00a0for the first time. The familiar cast of characters is here –\u00a0Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecro<\/i>w — as well as the\u00a0Wicked Witch of the West<\/i>, scary\u00a0Winged Monkeys<\/i>, and of course the\u00a0Munchkins<\/i>. We can even see\u00a0Glinda the Good Witch<\/i>\u00a0floating in her transparent sphere of light, as though to bless the journey of the travelers.\u00a0Dorothy<\/i>\u00a0Discovers the\u00a0Emerald City<\/i><\/b>\u00a0is a panorama of the great places from the film. Though while watching the movie none of us can be entirely sure where the Wicked Witch’s Castle is located in relation to the\u00a0Emerald City<\/i>, I have placed it distinctly in the foreground suggesting a barren land that must be traversed to encounter the delights beyond. Like\u00a0The Wizard of Oz<\/i>\u00a0film, my painting presents the raw emotions of myth and daydream as they collide with wondrous imagination.<\/p>\n

For those collectors who are ready to engage my Oz collection, rest assured that\u00a0Dorothy<\/i>\u00a0Discovers the\u00a0Emerald City<\/i><\/b>\u00a0is the starting point of an epic adventure in a land “over the rainbow”.<\/h3>\n
