Alexander Miller – After the Storm, Crovie
Alexander Miller – After the Storm, Crovie
£595.00
“This is an alternative view of the Aberdeenshire fishing village of Crovie.
Cut off from its hinterland by very steep hills and cliffs, there is only one very steep road in and out of the village.
The gable ends of the houses face the sea, to cope with all that the ocean can through at them. Here I wanted to capture the sense of calm felt after the storm.”

Over The Sea is a signed limited edition print of the painting of the same name by Alexander Millar. "A while back I had the privilege of meeting the great Jesse Rae. I remember a good few years ago sitting to watch one of my favourite programmes at the time called "The Tube" which was filmed in the Tyne Tees studios in Newcastle and my ears soon pricked up when I heard the fabulous song "Over The Sea" and the video at the time was sheer brilliance Even now it's been voted as one of the best videos ever made. To every Scotsman it was like hearing the pipes after a while away and the hairs immediately stood up on the back of my neck. Well fast-forward twenty odd years and here I am standing talking to that very man; him holding the sword that flew across the sea from the States back home to Scotland. I said at the time "wow Jesse, this is like music history that I'm holding in my hands" and without dropping a beat he said with a wry smile " so am I" .. And he's right. If you can get a chance to listen to some of his back catalogue of music, you won't be disappointed. If there was ever a musician waiting to be lifted back on to the world music scene when so much of the industry is characterless and dying on its feet, well it's this man.

"Although I grew up in the 1960s, the village where I was brought up felt more like the 1940's. Men went to work, few woman did; the majority of them running a household and bringing up kids. Grocery shopping was done, on food, on a daily basis. And I remember the determination and focus of these women. wrapped up in study wool coats and obligatory headscarves, moving from shop to shop" Boutique, Framed, Signed Limited Edition

"Growing up in the west of Scotland, with the weather coming off the Atlantic, the east coast of the country seemed a strange and foreign land, rarely visited. With glorious sunrises, a drier climate and buildings with crow stepped gables, the Fife fishing villages had more in common with the Low Countries and Scandinavia. It was only in my adulthood that I started to appreciate this lovely corner of the world; another piece in the mosaic of scenery, culture and people that makes Scotland a very special place."

“Bonnie Lad is an expression that means 'hello, how are you' in Newcastle upon Tyne - as in ‘Alreet Bonnie Lad'. You’ll hear it all the time if you go to a pub and watch all the old chaps greet friends as they come and go. In Scotland, it's more of a description for a good looking guy. While I usually try to make the characters appear as though they could be anyone, I kept seeing a resemblance to George Clooney’s under the bonnet of this one.” Boutique, Framed, Signed Limited Edition

"I was heartbroken when I heard that the man who provided the soundtrack to my life had died. David Bowie was a musical genius and a truly interesting man who lived several lives during his time on the planet. The Thin White Duke was one of Bowie's personas I’m often asked how I find new ideas to paint, the truth is that ideas are always there. I never seem to have enough materials or time to realise them all! I guess Mr Bowie had the same problem, seamlessly moving from one style to another. " Boutique, Framed, Signed Limited Edition

"I love to be able to create scenes that are not only nice to look at, and hopefully thought of as well painted, but also conjure up in the mind's eye other more significant matters. This one makes me feel like our hopes and dreams are limitless. These scenes maybe of a memory that plays an important part in a moment in life, or convey a quality that the characters that reminds you of a type of personality you know or have known."
