About the Item

Artist Comments
A young man leans on his dragon friend, engrossed in a book, while the gentle giant surveys the woods. Both immerse themselves in the beauty of the world, whether through literature or nature. The painting resembles a page from a fantasy storybook, with its vivid palette and whimsical characters.


About the Artist
Andrea Doss discovered that there were stories hiding in her paintbrush, and has been bringing them to life with her art ever since. Her paintings capture the essence of children’s books and lullabies. Andrea’s love for fairytales and storytelling is evident in her personification of animal friendships and activities. Adventurous, sweet, and whimsical are appropriate words to describe the artist’s fanciful characters. Andrea lives in Texas and works from her home, always closely supervised by her opinionated one-eyed cat named Poe.
