Fine Art Tuesday

 

Autumn Ploughing in the Marshland, 1911
Ester Dorothea Almqvist was born in 1860 near Stockholm, Sweden. She died in 1934.

She is mostly know for her work as an Impressionist and she produced more than two thousand images. Most of those images are not very rich in detail.

What I like about this painting is how she captures the low, slanting light of an autumn day at high latitude. 

One must wonder if the drowned mouth of the creek sees a good run of Atlantic Salmon or if it holds decent Brown Trout a little farther upstream.

Hat-tip to Lucas Machias for scouring the farthest corners of cyberspace for these kinds of images.
