Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto

Note:

In 1976 Casson produced a series of paintings in this area. Elephant Lake, Baptiste Lake and our titular subject, Diamond Lake, surround the Haliburton Forest which was a favourite source of inspiration for the artist. Here, a typical Haliburton hill looms hazy and bluish in the background. The trees and bushes in the foreground are carefully differentiated in their end-of-summer tones of green and gold, while a shadow cools the ancient rose-coloured granite that is unique to this area of Ontario.
