#218 – On the Water

This painting was completed with the intention of capturing the serenity and ease of the Georgian Bay landscape. Intricate linear details of the rockface seamlessly integrate with gently lapping waves. Similarly, we see a flowing relationship between the sweeping clouds and the dancing forms of the coniferous trees.

The pigments are mostly cooltoned, communicating a feeling of peace and calm. The sky is painted in layers of teal and manganese blue; we can see these colours delicately mirrored in the water. Titan buff pigment is blended with slate grey, titanate white, and chromium oxide brown to detail the rockface. Jenkins green pigment is used to achieve the rich emerald green foliage of the coniferous trees.

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.
