Yellow Brick Road cloth

YELLOW BRICK ROAD Backcloth (Size 18 feet wide by 11 feet high. 5ltr tin for scale)
This cloth is to be used several times depicting several different venues so I have tried to paint it vague. But I am not very good at "Vague". I had originally painted a much more detailed yellow brick road which rather dominated the backcloth so I toned it down ("knocked it back") with a layer of transparent white - in fact I have overdone it and now made it too ill defined.

Michael the rabbit

Bottom left hand corner is a rabbit sitting in his burrow. In my shows I usually try to include a little mouse or some such animal to amuse the children in the cast.

By the way the rabbit is called Michael.
