The Green Wood Beckons is a vibrant green oil painting showing a path through a green wood with a deer stag watching from between the trees. It is 30x30x1.5 inches and is contemporary and semi-abstract in style. It was inspired by the happiness I feel when walking through a spring wood when the sun shines through the new leaves and casts green light all around. A deer stag observes from between the trees on the right. I do occasionally spot deer in forests but it is not easy as they hear me thrashing around before I get to see them and hide – usually by standing totally still and being completely silent. The painting is highly textured which was created by first painting the trees and branches in pinks rich red colours. Then, once dry, completely covering them in green paint and wiping off some of the paint to expose colours beneath. It is painted on deep edge canvas with green edges. No frame needed, ready to hang as it is.

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.
