About the artwork
The Spirit Guides is a white semi-abstract painting of a group of red deer in a snowy winter woodland. It is 40x40x1.5 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.The Spirit Guides

*Gill Bustamante B.A. – Artist and Art Tutor, Sussex.* My name is Gill Bustamante and I paint large contemporary landscape and seascape paintings in oil on canvas. They are mostly inspired by the Sussex landscapes I see around me where I live. My painting style is a fusion of Expressionist, Impressionist, Semi-abstract, Art Nouveau and something I term ‘memory impressionism’. This is where I go walking somewhere rural, look at and absorb the things I see and experience, and then come home and try to capture an 'echo' of the place from memory, including any wildlife I may have seen. I completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and I have painted since I was three. It always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving errat... (see more)
