The Spirit Guide is a 40x40 inches original oil on canvas of a shimmering autumn woodland path with a deer stag at the end of the path. He is a fallow deer stag and he is painted in sharp focus so that he is in contrast to the rest of the landscape which is painted in a semi abstract style and an ‘out of focus’ contemporary style.

The Spirit Guide is a 40x40 inches original oil on canvas of a shimmering autumn woodland path with a deer stag at the end of the path. He is a fallow deer stag and he is painted in sharp focus so that he is in contrast to the rest of the landscape which is painted in a semi abstract style and an ‘out of focus’ contemporary style. Deer, in many cultures, are believed to be spiritual entities that can guide you to where you need to go. I like this idea and often return to it. The inspiration for the landscape itself is a path near where I live in Sussex area. The postcode is approximately RH194HW. Autumn landscapes are fun to paint but do not last long and so I painted the painting to look more transitory than a normal landscape. It adds to the idea of a brief moment in time captured and an urgency to follow the stag while it is still possible... It is painted on deep edge canvas, white, ready to hang, no frame needed.

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.
