Description of the Artwork “Summer Vibrates”
Summer Vibrates is a colourful semi-abstract landscape oil painting of a summer meadow and a swallow. It is 24x18x1.5. It is art nouveau and semi abstract in style and very vibrant in colour. A swallow is swooping over the meadow and below her there are fields of wheat with wild flowers edging the fields. It was inspired by swallow watching over a field near where I live. There is a shallow valley where in summer heat haze the swallows gather insects over the flowers and wheat fields. This little painting sums up a specific happy moment for me from August a few years ago. It is part of a series of paintings that try to capture the exuberance of Sussex fields and farmland in the summertime. Swallows feature often in my paintings as they are quite simply beautiful little birds and are only in the UK for the summer so it is a happy thing to see them. The painting is ready to hang, has white edges and does not need a frame.

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.
