Description

The Devil’s Dyke is a large joyful semi-abstract landscape painting of a place on the South Downs in East Sussex. It is 36 x 36 x 1.5 inches. The painting was deliberately made so that the edges are blurred and quite art-nouveau in style. The lines of it leads the eye into the centre of the canvas which is more focused – showing bushes and brambles and wildflowers weaving into a tangled thicket – nature in abundance. You can see a path along the edge of a deep rift between hills (the Devil’s Dyke) and across the rift you can see more hills and fields and trees beyond fading into the distance. This is an exact spot where I felt very happy this summer listening to the birds and insects around me as I walked along the edge of the Dyke. I think I expressed my emotions quite well! Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.

Gill Bustamante
Forest Row, UK
My name is Gill Bustamante and I paint large contemporary landscape and seascape paintings in oil on canvas. They are mostly inspired by the Sussex landscapes I see around me where I live. My painting style is a fusion of Impressionist, Semi-abstract, Art Nouveau and something I term ‘memory impressionism’. This is where I go walking somewhere rural, look at and absorb the things I see and experience, and then come home and try to capture an 'echo' of the place from memory, including any wildlife I may have seen. I completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and I have painted since I was three. It always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedy. Website: www.gillbustamante.com
