Step into Ella Edwards' cozy world of yesteryears as she bids goodnight, holding a candle in the soft glow of a December 1940 nursery scene. Join the sleepy child in a colorful lithograph, drifting away in their 'A World Of My Own.' As the hours grow late, a black and white photo captures a child's journey up the stairs, candle in hand, to the comfort of their bed. The Sleepy Boy, depicted in an engraving, dreams peacefully as we whisper, 'Goodnight.' Oil on panel art and color lithographs paint a serene picture of the nightly ritual, while an engraving of 'Goodnight' adds a touch of elegance. In the quiet stillness, we find solace in the simple charm of a charcoal, watercolor, and bodycolor on paper illustration of a figure standing at the bottom of the stairs, ready to retire for the night. As the day comes to an end, let these captivating images transport you to a place of tranquility and relaxation. So, take a deep breath, let go of the day's stress, and join us in the soothing ritual of going to bed. Goodnight.
