Many 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 Bird 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.

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.
