Notes:

#1 - Andy Goldsworthy - Woven Branch Circular Arch Dumfriesshire 1986—Environmental Art
#2 - Emily Carr, Logger's Culls 1935, Oil on Canvas
#3 (Left) -  Peter Gardiner--Ravensworth (Swamp Latern III), 2012, Oil on Canvas
#4 (Right) - Claire Sherman-- Tree and Night, 2016 Oil on Canvas. As she describes: “It is less about representing a specific place, and more about how paint can create an experience of a space that is both alluring and terrifying. My interest is in a space that falls apart as it begins to congeal and questions our relationship to the conventions of landscape.”
#5 -  Vincent Van Gogh, Mulberry Tree,  1889, Oil on Canvas, Impressionism. Painted while in an asylum
#6 - G.R. Iranna - From The Roots, 2012, Acrylic on Tarpaulin

#12 - Roxy Paine - Symbiosis,  2011, Stainless steel and concrete
