Chasing a Dream is a 30x24x0.5 inches abstract oil painting on canvas in vibrant rainbow colours of a path through a wood going towards the light in the distance. It was inspired by an ancient path through woodland near East Grinstead. This painting is part of a series of bright paintings reflecting my love of countryside walks and mysterious places. It is very brightly coloured and although painted in an abstract, expressionist free style is still very recognizable as a path through a forest with lots of light shining through the trees. The exit can be clearly seen as a glowing white doorway that could lead to somewhere fantastic. One of the things I love most about walking in woodland is the glimpses you get through the foliage of fields and flowers, wildlife, deer, owls, woodland birds and the odd unicorn (in my mind anyway). Fairy tales are real in some places and so is magic. This is one of those places and you should place whatever you want to be there at the end of this path in the clearing beyond... Ready to hang, edges white, frame recommend but not essential.

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.
