The great blue heron has a tall and slender figure that doesn’t initially volunteer its propensity for flight. We often see these stately birds slowly perusing a shallow body of water, but when you have the chance to watch a heron take off you realize the power behind their design. A feat of intelligent mechanics and delicate strength. The colours and textures used in this piece help us to sense the motion of the heron and the wind. You can almost hear the reeds and tall grasses rustling. Rich cerulean blues, soft oranges and diarylide yellow create a sense of comfort and warmth.

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.
