Dive in is another in my series of Finnish inspired painitngs.
Pekka Halonen was a leading artist in the Golden Age of Finnish art along with Akseli Gallen kellala.
He built a studio on Lake Tuusula 30 kms north of Helsinki and I visited it during the stunning White Nights of summer. This is the diving board Pekka built by his sauna and from personal experience I can tell you the water is warm and lovely!
