The Purveyor of Magic is colourful springtime inspired painting of a kingfisher flying over a riverbank of wild flowers. It is 36x36x1.5 inches. The kingfisher is a magical bird and I like the idea of her spreading magic and bringing the landscape and colours to even brighter life as she flies over it. This is why different colour glazes and veils extend from her wings and makes the painting semi-abstract and a little ethereal in nature. The predominant colours are greens but you can see hints of bluebell blues, pink, purple, orange and gold. This painting was inspired after a walk I took near Mayfield (Sussex) in April when the bluebells and other wildflowers were lining the edge of the waterways and fields. This area is ancient farmland and you often come across old mills and mill ponds and streams which add a fairy tale flavour to it but which was not too far from the reality I actually saw. It is painted on deep edge canvas, green edges, 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.
