A nature painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon, this original artwork captures an eastern tailed blue butterfly resting on a Scottish thistle. Created in heavy body acrylic on canvas, the piece emphasizes layered brushwork, contrast, and atmospheric light, reflecting the balance between warmth and delicacy within the natural world.

The butterfly clings to the thistle with quiet stillness, its cool blue and purple tones set against a background of warm, glowing colour. Layers of soft, wispy brushwork build an atmospheric field of reds and oranges, creating the sensation of light radiating outward from the composition. The contrast between subject and background forms a vivid interplay of temperature and tone within the scene.
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
Part of Jeff Dillon’s ongoing body of original paintings as a contemporary Canadian landscape artist based in Ontario, Canada.
