Kevätaurinko purolla 1918

"Kevätaurinko purolla" (Spring Sun by the Stream), a 1918 oil painting by Finnish artist Pekka Halonen, depicts a serene landscape. The painting captures the delicate transition from winter to spring with a focus on a meandering stream flowing through a rocky, partially snow-covered terrain. The soft, muted palette evokes the feeling of a crisp spring day, with pale blues, greens, and browns dominating the canvas. Halonen's characteristic style, marked by his use of light and his ability to capture the subtle beauty of nature, is evident in this work. The painting exemplifies the artist's exploration of the Finnish landscape, a central theme in his artistic output.
