The Invitation

Title: The Invitation
Description: The Invitation is a large seascape oil painting of a view from the beach across the waves to the sun and sky and seagulls beyond. It is 36x60x1.5 inches. The painting is ethereal, semi-abstract and a little art-nouveau in style and the light and energy of the scene is captured in thick expressive brush strokes. Gentle waves roll over the sand captured in impasto paint in muted whites, creams, yellows and purples. The sun can be seen from behind clouds and three beams of light form a triangle on the sea. Three seagulls fly between them. I had fun with the composition of this seascape and am very pleased with the result. It aims to capture the energy and transience of sunlight, sea and sky plus a little bit of mystery as it seems to hint at something not quite articulated. It was inspired by watching Florida skies where the sunsets and sunrises are always entertaining. The three seagulls are flying away which helps to add to the invitation to go beyond… Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and no frame needed. Comes with certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

Gill Bustamante

Artist Biography:

Gill Bustamante is a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi-abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. Her painting style is very distinct and often fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect her love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around her. She loves the ancient landscapes of England and her paintings often reflect the magical elements that such landscapes have. Gill’s main working method has been the development of a painting style she terms ‘memory impressionism’. This method involves going walking somewhere, looking at and absorbing the things she sees and experiences, and then returning home to her studio to try and capture an echo or essence of the place from memory - including any wildlife she may have seen. By this method, she captures precise moments in times at different seasons and the feeling she has about them. Gill completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and has painted since she was three. In her own words: “Painting always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedy”.
