Description of the Artwork “A Triumphant Return of Swallow”
A Triumphant Return of Swallows is a large wide seascape oil painting of swallows returning to England from across the sea. It is 60x30x1.5 inches. The painting shows clouds grouped in the middle of the painting with the sun behind them with just a few beams shining out from it. A calm and serene sea shows a single wave rolling onto the shore and the beach in the foreground hints as the pull of the sea back and forth across wet sand The colours are reflected in the colours of the five swallows who are triumphantly arriving across the land from the sea to roost. It is a long journey for them from Africa to England. The drama playing out is made more effective by the edges of the sea and sky being blurred so that energy catapults out from the centre of the canvas. This more than just a seascape painting. It is a painting about the strength and beauty of nature and how the instinct to survive makes incredible things happen. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no 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.
