A landscape painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon, this original artwork captures an arbutus tree illuminated by warm sunset light. Created in heavy body acrylic on canvas, the piece emphasizes layered brushwork, contrast, and atmospheric observation, reflecting the changing light of the Canadian coastal landscape.

Sometimes at sunset, light falls across the landscape like a stage illumination, focusing attention on a single form within its surroundings. Here, an arbutus tree is lit by warm afternoon sun as it sets in the distance, its trunk and rugged limbs glowing against a cool cyan and soft teal background. The contrast between warm light and cool atmosphere creates a quiet moment of natural focus and presence.
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
