The Flowers Scream Their Joy is a painting of an exuberant meadow full of buttercups that expresses the joy of June in the English countryside. It is 36x30x1.5 inches oil on canvas. The title is taken from a line in a song by The Lotus Eaters and seemed very appropriate. Yellow is known as the happiest of colours and when buttercups go mad like this it makes me very happy. The inspiration for the painting was walking through farmland near West Grinstead in Sussex (though it could be anywhere in England in June). It has been painted so that the edges are blurred and the flowers appear to be exploding out of the centre of the painting which gives impact to their enthusiasm. I have no doubt that all forms of nature love June and I am pleased to have expressed that feeling in this painting. If anyone needs help feeling happy – especially in an English winter – this may be for you. It is dedicated to farmers everywhere who are taking the time and trouble to plant their field edges with wildflowers and repair their hedgerows so that flowers and wildlife can have a better chance to thrive. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and comes with certificate or authenticity and gifts from the artist.

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.
