About this artwork

Caught in the Act is a very large oil painting of an idyllic alpine scene exploding out of a deep blue canvas. It is 48x48x1.5 inches. A white owl can be seen to the left looking back at us as if she has been caught in the act of creating the landscape itself. She looks surprised. In the background there are snow tipped mountains with a green valley and pine trees on the slopes descending from them. A river is running through the middle of the valley… where in the foreground it becomes a waterfall surrounded by wildflowers in rainbow colours. The edges of the painting are dark blue which heightens the vibrancy of the drips and blobs of paint emerging from the scenery. I like the idea something being in the process of being formed as it parallels the whole practice of painting something - whereby you think of something you want to paint and then try to make it appear by moving paint around! This is another in a series of paintings I have made inspired by the Interlaken area of Switzerlan

Credentials

Art Fair Participant
Works on commission

My name is Gill and I paint large, semi-abstract oil paintings that capture the essence and spirit of the English landscape. My art blends memory, nature, and magical realism—inviting viewers to experience the hidden magic, wildlife, and energy of the places I walk. I see each painting as a portal, offering a glimpse into the timeless beauty and mystery of the natural world. I paint large semi-abstract oils that seek to capture, not just the visual details of a location, but its scents, sounds, and spiritual energy. They are inspired by encounters with landscapes, wildlife and birds, particularly the ancient landscapes of England.
My paintings are completely unique in style.
