Niina

By Moiety

At Ateneum's exhibition of their permanent collection I fell in love with this mysterious painting by H Ahtela - a pseudonym of Einar Reuter Veneet odottavat -  Boats waiting from 1955. Boats on the shore are depicted sleeping under snow just waiting for the spring. 

ER was a close friend of Helene Schjerfbeck and I can see her influence also in this painting. I especially like the limited colour palette and tight composition there.
