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.

Every year my father would take us to Glen Lyon. This is where he spent the happiest time of his life, living with his grandmother in a small whitewashed cottage with green wooden shutters that had heart shaped holes cut out in them. Before travelling into the glen, we stopped at Aberfeldy, a picturesque town where the poet Robert Burns wrote his song “The Birks Of Aberfeldy” and where Dewar’s whiskey is distilled. On the edge of town, next to the river, is the putting green where we would always stop for a wee game. If I managed to get a hole in one, I would get an extra scoop of ice cream on my cone.

"When I was creating work for my Youth and Young Manhood portfolio, I drew inspiration from old photographs of my Grandad a a young man. I was also influenced by a new TV series that a lot of people were talking about - so a number of my drawings and paintings also drew inspiration from the BBC series Peaky Blinders" Boutique, Framed, Signed Limited Edition

"King of Queens is on of my favourite paintings. The setting for this painting may be familiar to those who have seen the Woody Allen film Manhattan, viewed from the iconic park bench at Sutton Square, overlooking the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge." Boutique, Framed, Signed Limited Edition

"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
