Early spring evening in Helsinki by Satu Vartiainen

Comments

This is great, Satu. The abstract feel, the gorgeous greys/yellows make it very atmospheric. The type of painting that I really like (though find it difficult to do myself)!

Wonderful Satu! There is such a feeling of distance in this and the colours in the melting snow remind me of the colours of the Northern Lights.

You've created such a serene yet striking image - those little specks of turquoise are inspired - love it
