Bunty Morton Art Atmospheric Landscapes Painting The Quiet Drama Of Land, Sea & Sky
Hello, I’m Bunty
and I live with my husband Ed and our three boys. We’re a family of water lovers, and most school holidays you’ll find us surfing, bodyboarding or hiking in North Devon.
Having grown up along this coastline, the deep-rooted connection to the sea runs through everything I create and has inspired me to pursue my love of impressionist- style painting.
For me, it’s not just about capturing how a seascape looks, but how it feels. Whether in the stillness of the morning light, the ominous thrum of a brewing storm or in the dependable push and pull of the tide, there’s a quiet power in the ocean that always draws me in.
And as my eldest son once said ‘Looking out to the sea makes me feel so small’- I think there is something so relatable to that overwhelming sense of awe the sea conjures within us. A quiet sense of reverence, of being humbled by something vast and timeless.
It’s my hope to share a sense of that same wonder in my paintings and to invite the viewer to rest in a momentary pause of calm and connection.
The Dark Coast Collection
Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions 90cm x 65cm
My first painting in a series exploring the connection to water and the immersive experience of hours spent gazing at waves rolling and crashing against the North Devon shores. This emotional seascape evokes a moment suspended in time, somewhere between chaos and calm and inviting the viewer to explore the idea of standing on the edge of something vast and unpredictable.
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
DIMENSIONS: 50cm x 40cm
A moment of suspense as the dusk collapses into the night. In this work Bunty explores the imminence of a storm set against the steady encroachment of long, dark hours to come. This painting evokes a brooding tension, a meditation on nature’s rhythm and our place within its unfolding.
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
DIMENSIONS: 50cm x 40cm
Capturing the quiet intensity of a coastal landscape just after rainfall, where the sky, sea and land meet in a soft defiance of separation. Bunty relies upon muted tones and textured brushwork to evoke a raw stillness and the almost ghostly hush that follows a storm.
