Description of the Artwork “Midsummer Jubilance”
Midsummer Jubilance is a big joyful oil painting of poppies in a summer meadow under a tree. It is semi-abstract and slightly art nouveau in style. 40x40x1.5 inches. The intention of this painting was to show the way that nature competes, especially in summer, to get the attention of what it needs. In the case of poppies, it needs bees and other poppies, sunlight, water and possibly many other things. I love how in spring and summer this desire to be seen reaches a peak and have tried to show the sheer jubilance of a simple clump of summer poppies. The tree behind has its branches spread wide and reaching outwards which adds to the energy of the landscape. The location that sparked the idea for this painting was on some hills in Sussex where I sat under a tree last summer and simply enjoyed watching the flowers, smelling the scent of them and hearing the buzz of insects. It is a simple painting with a simple idea and is dedicated to everyone else who loves nature and seeks protect it.

Gill Bustamante, United Kingdom
I am a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. My painting style is very distinct and fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect my love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around me. My main working method has been the development of a painting style I term ‘memory impressionism’. This method involves going walking somewhere, looking at and absorbing the things I see and experience, and then returning home to my studio to try and capture an echo or essence of the place from memory - including any wildlife I may have seen. By this method I can capture essences and echoes of places and the feeling I have about them. I love the ancient landscapes of England and my paintings often reflect the spiritual elements that such landscapes have.
