Do you know of any artists who specialised in painting trees?

[HowdeeDo]

I am looking to copy their technique or style, so they have to be original but authentic and realistic. I'm only 15 so difficulty rating is very limited, plus I will be using simple acyrilics to paint. The tree is in the corner of my painting, and you only see some of it's trunk and the sping/summer branches, I want it to be nice and green.

The artist, by the way, must be moderately famous or renowned, as I will have to research them and their technique for reference purposes also.

Ta!!
I know that Van Gogh has some good examples... along those lines ok? ;-]

Have a look at the work of the Renaissance artist Giorgione - he painted many wooded landscapes. Also, Jacob Ruisdael from the 17th century. Gainsborough, 18th century English. Monet and Pissarro from the Impressionist period.
