Summer Soul is a large exuberant explosion of a painting about summer and swallows and nature and poppies. It shows a view through a meadow of wildflowers towards low hills, trees and countryside. Three swallows are flying and looping over the flowers and crops intent on catching insects. There is a beautiful melancholy to August in England as it is when the swallows are preparing to leave us and fly south. These swallows are not fully formed as they reflect, for me, the soul of summer and so are wispy and too fast to focus on easily. There are veils of transparent colour which adds to the feeling of energy that you see in landscapes in the summer. This painting was inspired after a walk near Hadlow Down in Sussex where there is a small pocket of farmland that still feels quite ancient and is relatively unspoilt (park at post code TN224JF and go northwards). Dedicated to all farmers who should be thanked more often for what they do for us all. It is 36x48x1.5 inches on wide edge canvas with white edges and is 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.
