‘The Owls Haven’, Gill Bustamante.

Description

The Owls Haven is a magical realism style semi-abstract
landscape of a vibrant English spring landscape. It is 40x30x1.5inches. The
painting shows a glowing white barn own flying across a bluebell meadow. She is
in the shadows of trees at the top of a hill on a late spring afternoon. The
owl is partly luminous as she catches a beam of light on her face. She is
flying towards a glowing green clearing seen in a V shaped valley in the distance.
The background of the painting is dark maroon purple which contrasts in
interesting ways with the blues, pinks, greens and magentas of April blossom
and bluebells. There are shimmering vertical stokes of colour which make the
landscape quite ethereal and fairy tale like. This painting was inspired by a real
place near where I live in East Sussex. I can hear the owl in this area in the
evenings sometimes but have not seen her. This is my capture of this place as
it has crystallized in my mind. Painted on deep edge canvas, maroon edges,
ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_LHx8W9MEM
