Tyttöjä työntämässä venettä vesille is an unspecified by Pekka Halonen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Two women in loose, light-colored clothes stand near water. One wears a long white dress, the other a blue shirt and brown skirt. They’re barefoot, leaning slightly forward, as if pushing something into the water. The background is a rough, greenish forest with rocks and brush. Notice how the brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the women’s clothes and the water’s edge. The artist didn’t smooth everything out—it looks almost textured, like you could feel the strokes. This painting uses impasto, a technique where paint is laid on thickly.
