Middle East

First, news from abroad.

Summer jobs

The next topic is summer work.

Eero Nelimarkka

Finally, culture.

The Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki has paintings by Eero Nelimarkka on display. Eero Nelimarkka was a Finnish painter who was born in 1891 in Vaasa. He painted many landscapes from Southern Ostrobothnia. Eero Nelimarkka’s paintings feature grain fields and barns.

Eero Nelimarkka painted much more than landscapes. Curator Riitta Ojanperä from the Ateneum Art Museum:

-In terms of the diversity of the subjects, the image of a landscape and barn painter is perhaps emphasized too much.

The Ateneum Art Museum is exhibiting paintings by Eero Nelimarkka. The exhibition is open until September.

Weather

Still a weather forecast.

On Tuesday, the wind will strengthen and cloudiness will increase. There will be some snow in Lapland. There may also be rain or sleet in places in the east. The temperature will be above zero almost throughout the country.
