I chose "Olive Trees" not only because of the obvious subject matter, but because of the warmth and natural spirituality that both artists have achieved in their pieces.  Van Gogh's has that all encompassing radiance in nature, while Chihuly does it with man made materials.  For me, both have that spontaneity and joy in nature.
