The oilpainting Tinderbox is inspired by beautiful Andersen’s fairy tale. It depicts a sleeping princess flying through the night landscape on a miraculous dog with eyes as big as teacups.

She flies after the soldier, who fell hopelessly in love with her. Behind this spells is a magic tinderbox that he gained from an old witch.

Even in this story, love wins. And that’s probably the best thing about fairy tales 🙂 The image is dedicated to those who have not stopped dreaming and believing in the happy endings of stories.

Frame is illustrative. If you are interested, I can frame the picture.
