An Ancient Glamour is a large woodland path oil painting of a bluebell wood with deer. It is 36x60x1.5 inches and is painted in a modern contemporary impressionist style. The painting shows a view through trees towards the edge of a forest where stags and deer wait in the light between the trees. Bluebells and other forest foliage are hinted at along with the impression of dappled light falling onto the path and trees and flowers. The title refers to the magical property that fairy tale characters apparently have of being able cast a ‘glamour’ over themselves to alter their appearance - just as bluebells in April transforms woodland. This particular woodland was inspired by a walk through woodlands around the Balcombe lake area of West Sussex. Entering a path into woodland is like going into a whole new universe and when the bluebell scent is on the air as well, it is one of the best displays nature makes. I have tried to emulate this feeling by making the painting something you feel you could walk into and then you can imagine what lies at the other side of the forest. It is painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

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.
