Perched against the edge of a darkened forest, this original heavy body acrylic painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon captures the quiet alertness of a male horned owl resting within a tamarack tree. The composition places the owl slightly apart from the dense woodland behind it, allowing light, shadow, and contrast to shape the atmosphere of the scene.

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 striking eyes of the owl immediately draw attention, contrasting against the deeper earthy tones and layered greenery that surround the bird throughout the composition.

The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
