The Haven by Gill Bustamante

The Haven is large glowing green landscape painting of a forest path leading to a farm and its buildings in the distance. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The farm is intentionally small in the distance and the painting is big which heightens the feeling of a distance and space and the anticipation of arrival. The style is semi-abstract with the sinuous curves of art nouveau and reflects the vibrant colours of summer turning into autumn in English countryside. There are a myriad of rainbow colours in the painting, despite the overall appearance of it being green. These colours reflect differently in different light – just like a real woodland walk does. The impression is of sunlight through trees which range from brilliant white and yellow highlights though to the greens, blues and purples of the shadows of the leaves and the trees. The inspiration for this painting is a real place near Old Heathfield in Sussex where there is a farm I really really wish was mine! Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist
