The Wild Wild Wood by Gill Bustamante

The Wild Wild Wood is a semi abstract, art nouveau style painting of an autumn wood and a deer buck. It is 40x40 inches. The painting shows the view through trees on a path in a wood. There are a myriad of vibrant autumn colours and the patterns and curves created by the tree branches are quite art-nouveau in effect. There is a fallow deer buck emerging from branches and the hint of a path and other trees and a clearing beyond. I have tried to express the energy and colour explosion of a woodland by using just enough realism to show what the idea is. And the idea is how much there is to look at in a wood and how this can be expressed without painting every leaf and twig! The painting was inspired by many walks in ancient woodland and the thrill I get whenever I spot deer. Even though it is common to spot them, I still love these creatures and feel they are the real owners of trees and forests and should be respected. There is more story to this painting but viewers are free to make their own up. Painted on orange edged canvas, no frame needed, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-dbliNllrQ
