Grounded in themes of vigilance, strength, and quiet presence, this original heavy body acrylic painting on canvas by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon features a Black Australorp rooster standing across weathered Roman stone. Layered brushwork and subtle movement through the plumage give the bird a steady, commanding presence within the composition while small shifts in light across the surface allow darker tones to open into muted blue and green as the painting changes from different angles.

The rooster stands with one foot slightly lifted, balanced more by confidence than tension. Nothing in the scene feels rushed. The stone beneath it carries age and wear, softened by moss working its way through the cracks and edges over time. A bit of wind catches the tail feathers while the rest of the figure remains composed and watchful. Roosters have always carried that kind of presence around homes and farms. Alert without needing to prove it. This painting leans into that quieter sense of guardianship and steadiness rather than drama.
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
