About the Item
Artist Comments
This piece was inspired by a recent trip behind the scenes with the elephants at the San Diego Wildlife Park, explains Amy Rattner. One young female aunt reached her trunk up in greeting to the two baby elephants in the herd. She did not yet have a calf of her own but the guide told us that she loved babysitting the new babies and was practicing caring for her own baby. I loved the look of joy and excitement when she saw the baby calves. It was clear that she had a deep emotional bond with them.

- 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...
