Who among us hasn’t been startled by the sight of a bird or prey in the wild? Hawks are particularly good hunters and with some patience and their keen eyesight can easily spy prey scurrying across a farm field. The interesting combination of blues, mauve, and cream lend a serenity to the image. Yet, it’s in the fierce gaze of those yellow eyes that we know this is a bird keen to hunt. Capturing the particular beauty of each bird I paint.

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.
