Larry Parkkinnen is a painter of Scandanavian decent who takes great pride in his Finnish culture. His style of painting stems from that of the great Impressionist of the early years.

Parkkinnen has mastered the use of contrasting color and the balancing of texture and light. His impressionistic style is unmistakably inviting. “In my painting I strive to catch a mood and feeling, hopefully conveying these to the viewer. Color and texture are what excite me most about my paintings. In them I try to create timeless, ageless, beautiful images in the style of the great Impressionists.” Says Parkkinnen.
