Another piece of Silva's illustrations that I appreciated was the continual presence of the land - even pictures set indoors had a window through which you could see a vista. In fact, there was a vista in most of the illustrations, which gave context to the field, making it particular, not just any field.(I grew up near mountains and learned to judge where I was by them -- so that's how I'm reading these pictures.) For me the illustrations really highlighted the importance of the land. Susan Stan
