The focus of this painting is split between the calm water and the radiant setting sun. The horizon is lined with coniferous trees and the lake’s edge. Pyrrole red, cadmium orange, shades of azurite blue and chromium oxide green make up much of this palette. This painting was inspired by the old adage “red sky at night sailors delight; red sky in the morning sailors take warning.”

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.
