Here is my entry for the Color Crazy Challenge Rainbow. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kim Johnson for coming up with this challenge, it’s been a lot of fun!
Unfortunately, my current Oz work doesn’t feature rainbows so you’ll have to make do with this much older attempt at the theme…
#1 work in progress
The full title is actually "Rainbows Come Only After the Storm..." which captures the theme of this piece quite handily, although it is a little long winded for a title. Speaking of long winds, since Dorthy Gale is from Kansas it seemed like she should dress the part but why the Witch of the East had ruby cowboy boots is a mystery to me
Another thing I'm not too sure about is whether the lion is a Moreau hybrid or a lycanthrope or what. But I am quite certain that the Scarecrow and Tinman are golems. And that this one is wild at heart and crazy on top. Some other goodies in there for those who like to analyze and speculate
Scary, like Judy Garland on Stale acid and crystal meth…
I think that I will stop Dorthy short of a tweaker, but in my version Toto is a Rottweiler…
What is so cool about this piece is her calm collected beautiful smile!
What does she have to worry about? She has ruby cowboy boots…
Well of course she does. And if you have gorgeous hair, smile and shoes, you are good to go!
She has everything she needs, and most importantly she has the knowledge of it!
