There’s something about the fall colours that makes me happy. Maybe it’s the way the leaves change from greens to deep reds, oranges, and purples; sometimes so quickly it feels magic. Or possibly it’s the relief of crisp temperatures. Either way, I love spending time outdoors in the autumn months, admiring all the beauty around me. Sumac blossoms offer some of the season’s most striking ruby tones. Throughout autumn and early winter, many birds including the Robin visit the Sumac blossom for any remaining seeds.

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.
