Of course?‍♂️ I always get the two befuddled....I,ll try again? Hay Wain/Hey Cart/Hey Ho!

The other one's called 'The Cornfield'.

Here's another one from the RSA Edinburgh gallery. The detail is incredible. OK it's not a painting, but bits of it have been painted. It's called Family Tree by Robert Powell.

Roger Dean...….Older members will probably recognise his work.

Who's the artist(s)?

John Shelly and a Jersey artist whose name I can’t remember/make out

 

Believe JS has a picture or two in the Tate or National Gallery. Still painting and does a lot of paintings with trees. He did mine in 1982.

Maurizio Cattelan’s latest provocative work is buzzy and fun. But is it art?

The first painting with trees in it I ever saw.John Constable's "Hay Wain" Loved it as a kid...still love it.

Have you ever read 'Epitaph for the Elm'? Quite enlightening about the inclusion of elms by the likes of Turner and Constable.
