Featured in this painting, a male horned owl nestled into a sheltering tamarack tree. The owl has chosen a spot on a protruding branch, separate from the dense forest behind it. The sky is bright but you can see that the forest is very dark despite the daylight; the owl is lit up against the intensity of the forest. The cadmium orange eyes are a point of interest as they contrast the dominant colour palette of burnt sienna, ochre yellow, and the sap green and chromium oxide green forest.

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.
