Scarecrow's Dream

Paulette Harp-Nicholson

Oil painting depicting a symbolic transformation scene from 'The Wizard of Oz.' In the foreground, a lifeless scarecrow undergoes stages of metamorphosis, transitioning into a crow. The sequence progresses from a reddish-brown scarecrow to a translucent crow and finally to a fully realized black crow. The backdrop features a serene light blue sky and distant desert mountains, contributing to the scene's evocative atmosphere.
