Kerry Darlington’s 'The Scarecrow, The Tin-Man and The Cowardly Lion' revisits three of the most beloved figures from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, each on their own timeless quest for a heart, a brain, and courage. Painted in Kerry’s distinctive “sketch study” style, this intimate work uses transparent acrylics rather than pencil, giving her freedom to weave soft shading and subtle colour through the sepia-toned palette.
At the centre, the Tin-Man gazes mournfully at a heart he has discovered, as his loyal companions, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, stand beside him. The crows circling above hint at his vulnerability, while the Lion’s steady gaze and the Scarecrow’s thoughtful expression bring balance and tenderness to the composition.
Tying into Kerry Darlington’s wider Wicked series, this piece explores the intertwined destinies of Oz’s heroes, not just as fairy-tale characters, but as symbols of humanity’s enduring hopes: compassion, wisdom, and courage. Like Wicked itself, it invites us to look beyond the familiar story and rediscover the heart within it.
