Over the Rainbow

OVER THE RAINBOW is the fifth installment in Welcome's Art and Poetry Series, which celebrates the passions of life through unique pairings of words and art. Very few songs have so taken hold of people's hearts and imaginations the way Harburg's €ŒOver the Rainbow€¥ has - stirring in anyone who hears the words a wistful desire for a trouble-free life. So reflective of an innate sense of joy, this song finds the perfect visual partner in the color-infused paintings of Parrish, whose work appears to generate an inner light, resulting in a feeling of warmth and exuberance. Together, they result in an elegant evocation of the human spirit, particularly in times of difficulty.Parrish, Maxfield is the author of 'Over the Rainbow' with ISBN 9780941807388 and ISBN 094180738X.
