Celebrate ~ The vibrancy of the Cardinal in this painting is enhanced by the blues and purples of the branch of berries. Lending an immediate contrast is the layers of vertical brushstrokes in the background situating the bird deep in a forest glen. Folktales describe Cardinals as a visit of a loved one who has passed, appearing during times of celebration and grief meant to bring you cheer.

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.
