Summer Calling (2025)Oil painting
by Gill Bustamante

Summer Calling is a colourful semi-abstract oil painting of a field of flowers in summertime near the South Downs in Sussex. It is 36x24x1.5 inches. The painting shows lacy white flowers in the foreground which look as if they are in motion. This is a reflection of the feeling I sometimes get in spring and summer that the flowers are ecstatically happy and are giving it everything they have whilst the season allows it. Behind the flowers you can see the view across a meadow towards trees and the hills beyond. This spot is loosely based on a place near Selmeston in Sussex where there is a meadow that looks directly towards the South Downs. I like to walk on the hills but I also love the fields below them where you can walk in quiet farmland undisturbed and just absorb the sounds and scents of the countryside there. The painting is on wide edge canvas painted a muted purple colour which integrates into the edges of the painting and helps propel the viewer into the scenery. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity.
