‘The Devil’s Dyke’, Gill Bustamante

Description

The Devil’s Dyke is a large joyful semi-abstract landscape
painting of a place on the South Downs in East Sussex. It is 36 x 36 x 1.5
inches. The painting was deliberately made so that the edges are blurred and
quite art-nouveau in style. The lines of it leads the eye into the centre of
the canvas which is more focused – showing bushes and brambles and wildflowers weaving
into a tangled thicket – nature in abundance. You can see a path along the edge
of a deep rift between hills (the Devil’s Dyke) and across the rift you can see
more hills and fields and trees beyond fading into the distance. This is an
exact spot where I felt very happy this summer listening to the birds and
insects around me as I walked along the edge of the Dyke. I think I expressed my
emotions quite well! Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang
and comes with certificate of authenticity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKDuARgIAFE
