About this artwork

Farewell Swallows is a large original oil painting of two swallows in a semi-abstract English countryside landscape. It is 36x36x1.5 inches. The painting shows a tree lined country lane with a hint of the landscape in the far distance that the road is travelling to. The sun is filtering through the trees from the left casting dappled shadows on the track. Two swallows have burst through the trees moving impossibly fast as swallows do. The painting… is an actual place in East Sussex. I took a walk there in September where I watched the swallows fattening up on insects in midair just prior to their long trip south. The lane goes down to the Ouse river valley and gentle hills around Lewes. To the right, if you were standing in this exact spot, you would see Seaford Head on the English south coast and Lewes castle off to the left.

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.
