A golden, vibrantly coloured panoramic oil painting of the path through an ancient woodland in autumn. 40x16x1.5 inches. The painting technique is blurred and impasto and has a golden glow to it that changes throughout the day depending on the light. This painting almost vibrates with the promise of good things around the next bend. The inspiration was lots of woodland walks taken in autumn in the East Sussex area where the paths through the trees are often well worn and very old. Many were drovers’ paths used for herding animals and the echoes of the past are very strong in some of them. I tried to capture the feeling of anticipation and hope of revelation that I often get when around trees and ancient forests. The title refers to the idea that it is a good idea to dream and that you may find what you are looking for around the next bend… Dedicated to nature conservationists everywhere. Painted on 3D canvas. Edges painted dark purple, no frame needed. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=humWnzQvPtI

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.
