Object Detail
About the Work
Walsh
developed
a
distinctly
local
and
individual
style,
primarily
using
the
plein
air
approach,
painting
outdoors.
He
has
built
up
the
composition
with
broad
washes
of
colours,
then
added
detail
with
a
drier
brush.
Walsh
was
particularly
interested
in
the
effects
of
light.
