Description

I was asked to draw a commission of Polychrome, a “rainbow” fairy from the Land of Oz books. She’s a fun character, but not very useful. She’s part of this gallery of characters I suspect the writer invented because he just found them pretty or cool. She’s basically this fairy that falls from the sky and, since it’s colder on earth, kinda dances to keep warm. She’s really, really fun to draw. Yay. Rainbows!

This reminds me of a Japanese folk tale about a lady who dances every day before the shrine of her dead lover from whom she was tragically separated in their youth. I can't remember the whole story, but it is in Tales from Japanese Storytellers by Post Wheeler, which is one of my favorite books. If you're interested, I can paraphrase the story in a week or so after spring break when I can get my hands on my copy of the book again.
