Any famous artists whose content contained natural elements? I need to be inspired

I am currently doing a project, and my theme is natural elements, so i've ben painting things like wood, water, crystals, fire. But as part of the course, i have to look at other artists work to take inspiration from. So is there any artists which have done this, or at least have a unique style of painting which could work well with my subject matter?

    Many artists from the 1960s used natural materials, for instance Robert Rauschenberg, who used a stuffed chicken and a goat for two of his sculptures. Today, Damien Hirst works frequently with dead animals.
    Italian artists from the arte povera movement used natural materials such as earth, vegetables and other plants. you may wish to look at Jannis Kounellis, Luciano Fabro, Guiseppe Penone, or Giovanni Anselmo.
    Richard Long made beautiful sculptures with found stones or wooden pieces such as leaves or twigs.
    Joseph Beuys used many different natural materials - felt, fat, found objects, earth, mud, etc.
