About the Item
Artist Comments
Be Still is part of a series of work of birds in the moonlight. This sparrow pauses to be still and reflect, taking in the moonlight. I was inspired by the feeling of hope that can come in the midst of even the darkest circumstances, says Mel Kistner. I find I often need to be still and take time in my times of worry or fear to focus on the hope that God can bring in the night. The background has a brushwork texture.

- 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...
