EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "As soon as it Begins to Grow Dark" transports us into the enchanting world of Ole Luk-Oie, a character from Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. The image, created in 1920 by Honor Charlotte Appleton, depicts a young girl immersed in her own imaginative realm. Dressed in a delicate nightdress, the girl is nestled comfortably amidst her collection of beloved toys and dolls. As darkness descends outside, she prepares for slumber with her feline companion by her side. With closed eyes and peaceful features, she appears to be drifting off into dreamland. The painting exudes a sense of tranquility and innocence that resonates with children's tales. It invites viewers to reflect on the magic that unfolds when we surrender ourselves to sleep and allow our imagination to take flight. Through this artwork, Appleton captures the essence of childhood wonderment and the power of storytelling. The soft watercolor technique employed by Appleton adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its dreamlike atmosphere. Each brushstroke seems infused with tenderness and care, mirroring the artist's deep understanding of capturing fleeting moments of childhood bliss. "As soon as it Begins to Grow Dark" serves as a gentle reminder for both young and old alike about the importance of embracing our dreams and finding solace in bedtime stories before we embark on our own nocturnal adventures.
