This violet hued grackle is catching the light in such a way that the opal-like colours of its plumage are revealed. In quick passing, these birds often appear a stark black. It is a treat to see their feathers illuminate with these iridescent colours, vividly contrasting their usual shadowy form. Ultramarine violet, pink, and teal make up its feathers. The foliage of its chosen branch is detailed in a cadmium yellow and pale cream.

Jeff Dillon the Canadian Artist, inspired by the bold colours and brush strokes of Post-Impressionist Artists. His unique style focuses on capturing light, not through the detail of realism, but with gesture, illusion, shape and colour. He offers a personal and distinctive style to the world through his bold use of colours and lines, often symbolic images or subject matter. Objects in the paintings retain their realistic appearance yet have a vibrancy and fluidity about them, unique to his work. Jeff Dillon’s new expression of Post-Impressionism is both beloved and revered in the Canadian and Global Contemporary Art World.
