Sapphire, a close up portrait of a barred owl. This stunning painting is one of my most iconic pieces to date. This painting was named in acknowledgement of the winding blue pigments detailing the owl’s mesmerizing eyes. The highly detailed plumage of the owl leads your eyes all around the painting, and finally directly to its gaze. Enjoy a maze of rich colours including ochre brown, burnt sienna, anthraquinone blue and titan cream. The owl is pictured at night, and the cyan blue and slate grey pigments throughout reflect this.

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.
