Feels cold and damp too. :shiver: The next one, also by a Finnish artist (one of the great masters of her time,) reminds me of Cezanne's landscapes.

Victor Westerholm, Finnish painter 1860-1919). "He studied at the School of Drawing in Turku from 1869 to 1878. In 1878 he travelled to Düsseldorf and enrolled at the Kunstakademie, where he attended classes on landscape painting by Eugen Dücker until 1886. He spent his summers in Finland, on the Åland Islands, preparing sketches that provided the groundwork for many of the paintings he produced in Düsseldorf." -artfact.com
