Midsummer Jubilance is a big joyful oil painting of poppies in a summer meadow under a tree. It is semi-abstract and slightly art nouveau in style. 40x40x1.5 inches. The intention of this painting was to show the way that nature competes, especially in summer, to get the attention of what it needs. In the case of poppies, it needs bees and other poppies, sunlight, water and possibly many other things. I love how in spring and summer this desire to be seen reaches a peak and have tried to show the sheer jubilance of a simple clump of summer poppies. The tree behind has its branches spread wide and reaching outwards which adds to the energy of the landscape. The location that sparked the idea for this painting was on some hills in Sussex where I sat under a tree last summer and simply enjoyed watching the flowers, smelling the scent of them and hearing the buzz of insects. It is a simple painting with a simple idea and is dedicated to everyone else who loves nature and seeks to keep it safe and thriving. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and with certificate of authenticity from the artist. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndYGAT2JR2Q

Gill Bustamante Artist
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 but I tend to reflect any landscape I have seen. My painting style is my own but has elements of Impressionism, semi-abstract and a kind of messy Art Nouveau. I am a keen walker and I paint largely from memory after I have been somewhere and seen something I want to capture the feeling of. This is not just the shapes and colours of a landscape but the wildlife and magical elements that sometimes exist in them too. I am probably a bit of Pagan at heart and it fascinates me to see what emerges onto a canvas once I start to paint with a place in mind - as it is not always obvious what I observed until I try to paint it. 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.
