English Country Path in May is a large semi-abstract landscape oil painting of an English country with blossom trees, bluebells and a white deer. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The painting shows lots of overlapping layers that hint at tree blossom, bluebells and other wildflowers. The path is dappled as the light shines thought the treeline from the left. A small white female deer stands watching to one side. The feeling of the painting is one of exuberance and abundance and was inspired by a walk I took near High Hurstwood in East Sussex in April. I finished painting it on the first of May - also called Beltane- which is the first official day of Summer according to the Celts. There is a small herd of fallow deer in the area and two of them are white and I sometimes catch them watching me from the trees which is always a thrill. It is hard to paint a scene like this without it looking saccharin and a bit Disney-ish but in reality, I have dulled it down. It really was this uplifting. This is a capture of a beautiful day and I place I love to walk. Painted on deep edge canvas, wide edges, no frame needed, ready to hang.

Gill Bustamante, a contemporary British painter, is renowned for her distinctive artistry that breathes life into large semi-abstract oils on canvas, drawing inspiration from the wonders of nature. Specializing in creating expansive semi-abstract landscape, seascape, and wildlife paintings, Gill has carved out a unique style that seamlessly blends art-nouveau, impressionist, and semi-abstract techniques with a touch of traditional portraiture. Her artistic vision is deeply rooted in a profound love for nature, animals, birds, and the rich flora and fauna that grace the landscapes surrounding her.

Central to Gill's creative process is a method she terms 'memory impressionism.' This approach involves immersing herself in nature, going for walks to observe and absorb the essence of the landscapes, and then returning to her studio to translate those experiences onto canvas. The result is a collection of artworks that capture the echoes and essences of the places she explores, often including the wildlife encountered during her walks. This distinctive method allows Gill to convey the feelings and impressions she has about these locations, offering viewers a glimpse into the profound connection she shares with the natural world. Gill Bustamante's artistic focus extends to the ancient landscapes of England, and her paintings frequently reflect the spiritual elements inherent in such revered locales.
