unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Dominant colour
Amberleyn jokilaakso (Arunjoki) is an unspecified by Alfred William Finch, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet river winding through a grassy valley. A small boat sits still in the water, surrounded by bright yellow and green reeds. On the shore, a few trees stand scattered, their leaves painted in quick, loose brushstrokes. The artist used short, choppy strokes of color to create the scene, giving it a lively feel even though the setting is calm. The bright greens and yellows pop against the soft blue of the sky and water. Look up *impasto* to see how artists build texture with thick paint.
Alfred William (Willy) Finch (1854 –1930) was a ceramist and painter in the pointillist and Neo-Impressionist style. Born in Brussels to British parents, he spent most of his creative life in Finland.
