The few strokes at the pointed tips are just right! Is this near where you live? I am struck by the similarity to Maine, which is the setting of my painting. Have you seen these works (below) by Aapo Pukk, an Estonian artist? He was a finalist this year at the PSoA.

Alex,
the lake was my daily view from a house that I thatched last summer, I just had to do it. I used the knife a lot in this painting.
I did not knew Aapo Pukk before. I like his paintings very much and I am sure that he could find the same motifs here in Denmark just like the ones you have showed.
Right now I am busy painting pictures for an exhibit on Anholt starting midst July. I went over there two week ago to sketch and collect motifes. The nature of Anholt is preserved area, 9/10 of the Island is untouched by civilization, you should all see it,..... motif's for a lifetime and the best light in the country.
Thank you all for liking my small water scape !
