Almost no chance, but be nice to find a painting

There is a painting I saw online, and lost the info.

My memory of it is vague enough that it's hard to be exact, and unfortunately it's a pretty popular theme - trees at night in the moonlight. But it's a certain one.

I've looked at over a thousand trying to find it again, and a risk is seeing something similar and not being sure whether it's the same one. I'm hoping to see the same one and recognize it by the reaction to it.

So with almost nothing to go on...

There is one painting that is VERY much like the one I'm looking for, enough that it falls into that 'is it the one or is it similar', and it's the only one that is close. So, if anyone knows one very much like this... lenme know. If not, I'll go with this one.

Yes, that is the painting's painter and title that I posted.

The more I look at it, the more I think it is the original I was looking for and really like. Problem is, that's how memory works even if it wasn't.

Interesting anecdote:

A woman was raped, and a suspect was tried who looked like the rapist. She had tried to remember the face clearly, and said it was him, and felt a terror, and he was convicted.

Later, another man was tried for it, and she said she didn't recognize him, didn't feel the terror from him - yet DNA proved he was the actual rapist. Her memory had adapted to seeing the first man.
