‘Ephemeral April’, Gill Bustamante

Description

‘EEphemeral April is a vibrantly coloured expressive painting
of a dispersing springtime landscape with blossom and bluebells. It is
30x30x1.5 inches. The painting is made up of a series of brightly coloured dots
on a bright blue background. The dots are semi-abstract at the edges but
describe the scene more realistically as they merge and solidify towards the
centre. A pheasant runs from the left through bluebells and wildflowers towards
blossom trees which are dispersing petals into the sky. Two deer are blending
into the background across a small clearing and further blossoming trees. The
narrative behind this painting is simply me feeling both joy and melancholy at
how long we wait, in England, for the beauty of the bluebell and blossom and
wildflowers of April and how fast they all disperse again. Even the pheasant is
trying to hold onto it all. April, in English countryside, is simply stunning
and I think I have expressed this fleeting moment here quite well. Painted on
deep edge canvas, blue edges, ready to hang and comes with certificate of
authenticity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9s64srchYk
