In this heavy body acrylic painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon, the Blue Jay is portrayed with sharp attention and layered feather detail, balancing both the intensity and familiarity that make the species so recognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"952\"\u003eMany cultures believe in the inherently spiritual nature of birds. Perhaps it’s because they alone own the sky. There are over 426 bird species in Canada. Here, we have the image of a Blue Jay captured on canvas. Often considered the bully of the bird feeder for their assertive defending of their territory, they are also known for their raucous calls and bright blue plumage. I have managed to capture both the alert gaze of the Blue Jay, and the mosaic of white and blue in its feathers. A favourite subject of mine, the Blue Jay represents the spirit of my father.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeff Dillon Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47004319252729,"sku":"152F","price":6400.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7586\/4057\/files\/JDFA_WebPrintProdImgs_Orig_152.jpg?v=1766458126","url":"https:\/\/jeffdillon.ca\/fa\/products\/152-angels-alongside-our-path","provider":"Jeff Dillon Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
