Rainbow Inspiration

I have been designing some artwork for a Wizard of Oz theme for a friend of my sister Lynne's. I am going to feature her adorable work later this week on my blog. Speaking of blogs, my sister's new knitting blog is beyond A-dorable. My sister, Susan is an amazing knitter and as you know she is knitting the cutest dog sweaters. She has been knitting other things as well. I will be in my art room creating, so I thought I would set a mood. For now I needed some inspirational music of course to create by, so I went searching for rainbows...

"I'm frightened, Auntie Em! I'm frightened!" Will I get this art project done in time?

I am dreaming of hot air balloons, munchkins, and ruby slippers as I spend the day creating.

Now "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" Don't you just love that line, Cocoa?

I found some rainbows on my flickr, and even some hot air balloons, but not a munchkin or horse of a different color. While I paint ruby slippers I needed to hear Dorothy sing, so the name of the song for this post is Over The Rainbow.



Ahhhhhh, there is no place like home...on a day when you are creating...click, click!

And Glynda asked Dorothy, "Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? "

As I write this post the wind has picked up outside, I wanted to have inspiration but this is ridiculous...

"The wind began to swish, The house, to pitch, And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch, Just then the Witch, To satisfy an itch , Was flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch."

Judy Garland sings Over The Rainbow as I paint the ruby slippers.




















Have a Land of Oz Day...in a follow the yellow brick road kind of way!
