Inspired by life in the tropics, these simple birds, a bumblebee and some hibiscus flowers invoke the feeling of warm soft breezes and a tropical life.
About the Artist
Johnny Karwan’s body of work is best described as stylized realism on birch panel. The wood grain shows through in each composition, which somehow feels simultaneously traditional and surreal. “The texture and grain of the wood that shows through the transparent layers of paint, makes its own statement in a way, as the fingerprint of its natural origins that persist beyond the transformation from tree to painted surface,” says the artist. Johnny is inspired by natural history and objects of the past, which contributes a vintage feel to the work. Johnny’s studio is based in his 1904 Edwardian flat in the historic Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco.

- Sleeping Under the Stars, Original PaintingBy Andrea DossLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
What do sleeping dragons dream of? Starry nights and moonlit trees Castles tall and oceans deep Dancing on the whispering wind And flying to where the sunlight bendsAbout 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.Words that describe this painting: dragon, storybook art, kids art, stars, night sky, nursery art...
