‘The Spirit Guides’ Gill Bustamante. Fine Art Prints.

Description

‘The Spirit Guides’ is a white semi-abstract
painting of a group of red deer in a snowy winter woodland. It is 40 x40 x 1.5
inches. The stag and three female deer stand in formation so that they can see
from every angle. There are trees around them and thickly painted snow. Though
the deer were painted fairly realistically, they have been blurred and made
more ethereal by glazing over with white paint which makes them look as if that
are just appearing and could disappear just as easily (as deer seem to do in
real life). The painting title refers to commonly found folklore that deer are fairies
in disguise or guides to other worlds. I have always loved that idea and this is
not my first tribute to it. The style of the painting is slightly art nouveau and
unique. It is a fresh white painting and will appeal to anyone who, like me,
loves deer and wildlife and the spiritual nature of them. The stag and three
does in this painting are a common inspiration for me as I often see this
combination when out walking. I like to think it is the same four deer but that
is wishful thinking even for me… Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang,
no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity.
