Ocean Magicians
Title: Ocean Magicians
Description:
Ocean Magicians is a very large blue and turquoise seascape painting of a Caribbean Sea, beach and sky but with an unusual twist to it. It is 60x36x1.5 inches. The sky is a deep cobalt blue and the sea is turquoise with white lacy waves rippling gently onto the shore. Eight white tern birds are dancing in the centre of the painting as if casting a spell. They were painted slightly transparently in order to enhance the ethereal quality these birds have for me. The line of the horizon shows a sand bank and deep dark water behind it and there is a lilac band of colour where the sky reaches the sea. All these factors were present on the day I saw all this on a recent trip to Aruba. My difficulty was that I did not want to paint just another Caribbean seascape. I wanted to show some of my awe for the location and sea and the birds in a way that is not hackneyed. I think I achieved this. It is dedicated to all the lovely people of Aruba. It really is one of the friendliest places ever. Painted on deep edge canvas, painted to match the painting, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist

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. Gillâs main working method has been the development of a painting style she terms âmemory impressionismâ. 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: âPainting always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedyâ.
