"The Wizard of Oz Comes Alive" is a photo-realistic painting. In the foreground are detailed and lifelike representations of characters including the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and Toto the dog from the film adaptation. Behind them is an oversize version of the vintage book, showcasing vibrant colors and stylized illustrations of the characters. The painting blends two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements, creating a striking contrast between the flat book cover and the realistic figures.
