Out of the Blue is a large blue abstract painting with two female deer emerging from a beautiful blue universe. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. This is an unusual painting as it appears to be mostly blue. However, when the light changes, you will see many other colours ranging from pinks, purples, yellows and tans that only show when viewed from different angles - almost like the iridescent feather of a bird. The inspiration for the painting was simply to pay tribute to the beauty of female fallow deer but developed into something more abstract as more layers of paint were added. It is highly textured and hints at a woodland that the deer are coming from. I like to think that deer are magical beings and the intensity of the blue adds to that feeling. I have attached a ‘before and after’ of the blue paint so you can see how it changed. It is painted on deep edge canvas, blue edges, ready to hang, no frame needed.

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.
