Hidden among illuminated summer leaves, the young owl in this original heavy body acrylic painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon rests quietly within the shelter of the branches. Shifting sunlight moves through the foliage, creating alternating tones and soft movement around the owl while the scene settles into a feeling of calm observation and solitude.

This painting is of a young owl high in the tree branches on a hot summer day. It is taking refuge in the shade and is enjoying respite from the heat. The leaves illuminate causing them to alternate their colours with the sunlight. The owl is aware of the viewers presence, but it does not seem bothered by it, it appears content to enjoy the peace and solitude of this moment. The painting has a calming effect and makes one feel as if they are also in the tree, surrounded by nature. The title, “Free Spirit”, perfectly encapsulates the carefree feeling that this painting evokes. This carefree owl seems to represent the free spirit we all have within us. It’s a reminder to take a break from our busy lives and enjoy the simple things in life. We can all relate to this painting in some way, whether it’s taking a break to enjoy the outdoors or just slowing down to appreciate the small things in life.
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
