"Not All Brick Roads Lead To Oz"

As a child, my favorite movie was "The Wizard Of Oz". I can remember watching it on tv over and over again. It was definately part of the inspiration for my new drawing "Not All Brick Roads Lead To Oz". Another inspiration for this drawing is "Harry Potter" or more specifically "Hogwarts". My daughter got me interested in "Harry Potter" and now I am a fan of both the books and the movies. I find myself particularly fascinated with the architecture of "Hogwarts",especially the columns. I have found that these columnar forms have been coming up repeatedly in my last few drawings.

This drawing also deals with the paths we take in life and how sometimes we stray from the beaten path.(symbolized by "Dorothy's foot").I have learned that life is truly a journey with many twists and turns along the way. The path we start out on is often very far from where we end up. We can only hope that life's path allows us to continually grow and create.After that just sit back and enjoy the ride!
