Lumpeita is an unspecified by Alfred William Finch, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet pond with lily pads floating on the water’s surface. Tall trees with thick, green leaves frame the scene, their branches reaching into a pale sky. The colors are soft—blues, greens, and yellows—with brushstrokes that look quick and loose, like the artist worked fast. The brushwork is thick in spots, almost like the paint was scraped or dabbed on. This technique makes the scene feel alive, even though it’s just nature. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
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.
