#242 – Majestic Maroon Oak

The oak is a truly magnificent tree. It is not only long-lived, but also very strong and resilient. In nature, the oak is often seen as a symbol of strength and wisdom. For centuries, people have looked to the oak as an example of power and beauty. The Celts in Ireland and Scotland revered the oak for its sturdy branches and acorns, which they believed were symbols of abundance and fertility. In many cultures, the oak is still considered a sacred tree. Oaks can live for hundreds of years, making them one of the longest-lived trees on Earth. People have long admired the oak tree for its resilience and beauty. It is no wonder that this mighty tree has been used as a symbol of power and wisdom for so many centuries.

This painting presents the beautiful fall colours of the oak tree (in this case the White Oak) in its maroon, Scarlet, and almost deep pink fall colours.

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.
