The Ravilious Hill Figure Collection - Rather Good Art

A set of 6 rather good Eric Ravilious postcards, featuring a set of hill figures from the south-east and south-west of England, all painted in 1939, and intended to illustrate a children's book he was working on for Puffin.

Tonight's goodnight image is 'Moonlight on the Lake, Roundhay Park, Leeds', oil on canvas, 19th century.
Sleep tight.
Tonight's (tall) goodnight image is 'Nightly Walk of the Monks to the Mountain Monastery Athos', Hermann Corrodi, oil on canvas, 1888. The details are tremendous - I urge a click/tap and a ponder.

Tonight's goodnight image is 'Old White Birch', Maxfield Parrish, oil on Masonite, 1937.

Good morning. I hope you slept like a daphnia-stuffed stickleback. I'm starting with 'Harvest Headland', by Peter Heard.
Have a splendid day.
Tonight's goodnight image is 'View of Tiegem in Winter', Valerius de Saedeleer, oil on canvas, 1935.

'St James's Park, London', Thomas Frederick Mason Sheard, oil on canvas, before 1921.
And by complete coincidence, 8 long tailed tits are stuffing themselves with suet outside my window. Apologies for the image quality.
