Artist's Comments

For those interested in the origins of the title:

In Greek mythology, Astraea was the Goddess of innocence and purity who reigned during the first Golden Age. This was an age when perpetual spring reigned, flowers sprang up without seed, the rivers flowed with milk and wine, and yellow honey distilled from the oaks. This age is now lost, except in the hearts and dreams of children.

A closeup of the details is also available at my website. I hope you enjoy!

Looks allright to me, maybe the dragon crane his head in a somewhat strange way, but I dunno, never seen a dragon for real so what do I know about how dragons crane their necks..

I think it's really cute and very well done. Is the dragon sniffing the flower?

Eating hot chocolate mix is good for the soul.

Great work - particularly that distant scenery. I don't quite get what's going on with the monolith the child's standing on - it appears to come out of nowhere.

Now that is simply beautiful, in rendition and composition. Guess no-one would think a dragon would care about flowers.
