About this artwork

Midsummer Witness is a large square oil painting in semi-abstract, magical realism style, of a summer meadow with a tiny roe deer hidden among the thistles and flowers. It is 40x40 inches. This painting was inspired by a walk I took in July when the flowers were purple and the grasses were golden. I was near the Medway river and as I walked through the field I spotted a tiny roe deer who stood and watched me without any fear (unlike the fallow deer… who run away quite fast). His face was mask-like and he looked like a pagan spirit reveling in the beautiful abundance of a midsummer meadow. The countryside in Sussex is magical to me, at any time, but the appearance of this imperious little deer made it more so. The combination of colours is subtle and English people everywhere will recognize the muted tones of a typical, not very sunny, summer’s day. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and gifts form the ar

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.
