Chaos in the Meadow is a joyful semi abstract oil painting illustrating the sheer chaos of nature that you find in a flower meadow in summer. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. The painting is semi abstract in style and is extremely colourful. Many different types of flower and grasses are hinted at and all of them are trying to get attention which causes a beautiful chaos. This painting was made after a walk on the Sussex South Downs and I love how this one tiny patch of wildflower meadow showed me so much life and enthusiasm. I have used layers and glazes of colours to give this painting an iridescent glow and its colours change throughout the day because of this - almost like stained glass. Behind the flowers you can just about see some of the fields below the hills looking towards Lewes. It is dedicated to all those walkers, cyclists and environmentalists that I meet on the downs who are helping to keep this area beautiful and its nature thriving. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and no frame needed. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg73W18i-ZU

Gill Bustamante Artist

My name is Gill Bustamante and I paint large contemporary landscape and seascape paintings in oil on canvas. They are mostly inspired by the Sussex landscapes I see around me where I live but I tend to reflect any landscape I have seen. My painting style is my own but has elements of Impressionism, semi-abstract and a kind of messy Art Nouveau. I am a keen walker and I paint largely from memory after I have been somewhere and seen something I want to capture the feeling of. This is not just the shapes and colours of a landscape but the wildlife and magical elements that sometimes exist in them too. I am probably a bit of Pagan at heart and it fascinates me to see what emerges onto a canvas once I start to paint with a place in mind - as it is not always obvious what I observed until I try to paint it. I completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and I have painted since I was three. It always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedy.
