Maisema Kolilta - Eero Järnefelt
This painting is beautiful and I understand well why this is, as you write it, the Finnish national landscape. A lake and sky is beautiful and calm, but the pine got my attention instantly. It reminds me how in nature everything don't have to be symmetric or huge to be beautiful and still good enough to a spotlight in a picture. 
I like the way you have interpret the meaning of the art work. I've seen the painting before but never until now actually stopped to think the message it wants to tell.
