Diaz is known for a particular convention in his landscape scenes-“small, secluded clearings in the forest from which the observer looks through the broken silhouettes of leaves and branches as if from a shadowed room or a grotto, at patches of light or open fields beyond,” in the words of the art historian John Canaday.Image14" x 18.5"PaintingOil on panelFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.html
