1919
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kirkas päivä is a 1919 unspecified by Yrjö Ollila, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a bright, sunlit harbor scene. A few small boats float in the water near the shore. On land, there are simple buildings with red and blue roofs, and a tall chimney puffs out a thin line of smoke. The sky is light with soft clouds, and the whole scene feels warm and airy. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This style makes the colors pop, especially the blues and yellows. The artist seems to focus on light and color over fine details. Want to see more work like this? Check out impasto.
