Beyond the Rainbow

Theme 18 "Rainbow" for the 100 themes challenge.

Inspired by Katharine McPhee's version of the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

<sup>When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams, the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Then why, then, oh, why can't I?

If happy, little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?</sup>

My last artwork of 2006 and first submission of 2007! (I finished it five minutes before midnight. XD) I started this weeks ago and Photoshop crashed before it was saved. x_x Finally got around to re-doing it, and I'm very happy with it. A good piece to start the New Year.
