This observant little creature is a north american red squirrel, detailed here in rich red oxide pigments. As they feed mostly on seeds and conifer cones, this squirrel is pictured in a collection of sap green cedar trees. They are fast, fiercely territorial and don’t prefer to be observed. Interestingly, they don’t hibernate during the cold north american winters; they are one of the most active squirrels. This red squirrel is curious and suspicious of the onlooker and won’t be there for long.

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.
