The Land Of Oz, About 7 x 8 feet. Exterior application.

If you want to know the real story behind "The Land of Oz", you need to visit: http://www.emeraldmtn.com/LandOfOZ/LandOfOZ.html This was a place which made a great impact on me in the early 1970's. I was looking for something that I could paint on the side of this shed which would give the look of some of the old painted barns you see on the sides of the interstate highways. I also wanted something which 'looked' old. I nailed old cedar fence boards using uncoated-steel nails (which would speed rust stains) on the side of the shed (formerly 4 x 8 sheets of ugly masonite) and then set out to come up with a layout using some of W.W. Denslow's masterful graphics from L. Frank Baum's original 1900 publication of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". I made very small alterations to his works.

I originally wanted to paint the scene and make it 'look' faded and worn- but I started enjoying the process so much, I couldn't stick to that mode. The scene is about 8 feet tall and is painted using acrylics. I had thought, the surface of the wood was so rough that I would have to mask and airbrush the entire painting, but as I worked on it, I came to develop a nice system of using regular brush-work and only used the airbrush for special areas. I think it will age well. Hope you enjoy it- be sure and check out the details below!

ScareCrow, Lifesize

Odd n'-ends. This is not a painting; it's my scarecrow that I built for my garden and it just seemed to fit here. This is an example of high-tech construction built with a pneumatic nailer and imported burlap.
