Before Oz became legend, there was a man and a balloon. 'So Long, Omaha' captures the fateful moment when Oscar Diggs, a stage magician from Nebraska, is swept away by storm winds and illusion into a world that would mistake him for a wizard.

Kerry Darlington paints this origin story with breathtaking theatricality. Beneath a colossal moon, gothic rooftops rise from swirling mist, architectural echoes of her beloved Godric’s Hollow series, while airships and hot-air balloons drift toward the unknown. The result is both cinematic and poetic: a portrait of ambition, deception, and destiny.

Rendered in layers of delicate matte resin and shimmering silver metallic inks, each brushstroke refracts the shifting tones of sky and shadow. The matte varnish finish enriches the soft, velvety surface, enhancing the illusion of mist and moonlight. This is Kerry Darlington at her most visionary, weaving together the mythology of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the emotional truth of Wicked into one spellbinding tableau.

Providing quality at every step

Experience and care with each order

Trading for over 30 years, we have made art our passion. Therefore we have developed a strict set of standards for the safe storage and dispatch of our precious works to our collectors. Our meticulous 12-point checklist ensures every work upholds our exacting quality standards when dispatching one of our artworks.

Starting at dispatch from the artist's studio, we've worked together with our community of artists to ensure delivery to the gallery is as meticulous as possible - each work packaged safe transit.

Upon arrival in our Weybridge showroom, each new arrival is examined by the studio & dispatch team. Frames are scrutinised for a perfect finish: glass is polished to perfection with anti-static art cloths. Auxiliary features like the string/wire and certification on the reverse are checked for positioning and correct mounting. Finally, the work itself is inspected to ensure a flawless transition from studio to gallery. Upon purchase, the work is cleaned again and meticulously subjected to our trademark 12-point checking system to ensure a safe secure journey to its ultimate destination.

With a network of framers, restorers, conservators and art dealers with over 50-years experience in the industry, you can rest assured your world-class art receives the highest level of scrutiny and care.
