Branches and blossoms

On the left: Vincent Van Gogh's "Almond Blossom" oil on canvas, 1890; on the right: detail* from Gustave Baumann's "Spring Blossoms," woodcut print, 1950

*OK, so this one might be cheating — using a detail, I mean — but Bauman's branches are the first thing I thought of when I saw this Van Gogh's painting, so I had to try. . .
