A landscape painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon, this original artwork captures a lake at sunset where sky and water share equal visual focus. Created in heavy body acrylic on canvas, the piece emphasizes layered brushwork, reflection, and atmospheric contrast, reflecting the shifting light of evening within the Canadian landscape.

The composition is split between calm water and a radiant setting sun, where colour moves between reflection and sky. A horizon line of coniferous trees frames the lake’s edge, anchoring the scene in natural structure. Built from pyrrole red, cadmium orange, azurite blue, and chromium oxide green, the palette carries a strong atmospheric shift, inspired by the idea that a red sky at night signals calm and arrival after a long day.
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
