Description
NARRATIVE
Just over the mountains of northern New Mexico lies an odd little rural city of peculiar shapes and sizes. Once upon a time it was made of adobe. But, something peculiar happened. And although it's now rather like that other odd city just beyond Kansas it is not that place, although one might be fooled by its high green spires. But, vintage trucks travel these roads paved in yellow cobblestone not brick. And it's the sort of place where tourists roam about and folks speak Spanish and Tewa and the gringos float around in balloons.
I say it's an American Fairy Tale, a riddle, a parody of both as it's really neither, though some might argue they both exist somewhere over the rainbow.
BACKGROUND
"Oz, An American Fairy Tale" based on L. Frank Baum's classic tale, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" began in 2006 as an homage to my late mother, who was an avid reader of classic literature with a special fondness for the books of L. Frank Baum. She introduced me to his marvelous tales and was especially fond of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".
L. Frank Baum's, book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", has been in the public domain since 1956.
DISCLAIMER
Any similarity to any other fairy tale city realized or imaginary is purely coincidental.
PROCESS
This is a composite of numerous Art West paintings, sketches and photographs from Taos Mountain to downtown Denver.
