ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Making an Appearance is a large oil painting in semi-abstract art-nouveau style of a peacock appearing in a bluebell wood. It was inspired by the wonderful bluebell performance we had in spring 2021 which never fails to make everyone feel happier. The edges of the painting are blurred so that your eye moves into the centre clearing and there are multi layers that suggest light through trees. A pink blossom tree is on the left and a peacock is on the right and is transparent as he is not fully formed. It is a magical painting as befits a bluebell wood in full bloom. This particular bluebell wood glade is near Cowden in Kent. I painted it with the colours and atmosphere in mind rather that botanical details and am happy that I can still smell the scent of the flowers and the blossom trees and hear the birds in the wood singing when I look at it. The peacock was added afterwards as I did hear a peacock in one of the old mansion house properties around Cowden. I wished he could be in the trees among the bluebells as his blue and green pearlescent feathers would have been perfect. This is him making an appearance curtesy of artistic licence. It is 40x40x1.5inches, white edges, ready to hang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb0-jWmwZ5s

Gill Bustamante
United Kingdom
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”.
