Autumn colour can shift so quickly it almost feels unreal. In this original heavy body acrylic painting, Canadian artist Jeff Dillon focuses on the rich reds and ruby tones of sumac blossoms as they emerge against the changing landscape of the season. The presence of the robin adds a quiet sense of life and movement, reflecting the connection between wildlife and the late autumn landscape before winter settles in.

There’s something about the fall colours that makes me happy. Maybe it’s the way the leaves change from greens to deep reds, oranges, and purples; sometimes so quickly it feels magic. Or possibly it’s the relief of crisp temperatures. Either way, I love spending time outdoors in the autumn months, admiring all the beauty around me. Sumac blossoms offer some of the season’s most striking ruby tones. Throughout autumn and early winter, many birds including the Robin visit the Sumac blossom for any remaining seeds.
