Alexander Miller – Hopes & Dreams
£495.00
“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.”

"My love of Scottish history has been influenced by various visual interpretations of my nation's story through paintings, films and TV. So it’s no surprise that the iconic Eilean Donan Castle has always fascinated me. The castle's unique location on the junction of three sea lochs close to the Isle of Skye allows it to be illuminated by misty dawns, Atlantic sunsets and brooding mountain storms. The light from the sky and from the surrounding water constantly change the texture and mood of its fortified walls and main keep. Truly everyone’s idea of a noble Highland stronghold!

"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

"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

"The person in the family that I saw the least of was my Dad. I guess this was the case in most families back in the day as practically all our dads had jobs. When we got up in the morning to go to school they had long since departed to go to whatever employment they were engaged in. Looking back, the few times that we spent together were very precious to me for the years go past too quickly. Times change, circumstances alter and before you know it you are an adult yourself with your own set of challenges to deal with. Memories resurface like snapshots in an old photo album, like hanging on to his hair as carried me on his shoulders back home from grannie's house. He would pretend to loose his balance, having me believe I was going to be dropped into a neighbour's garden. He would also perch me on the crossbar of his bike, holding on to the saddle as I held on to the handle bars thinking I was in full control even though my legs barely touched the peddles. All too quickly time passes and the big burly man you remember as your dad turns sadly to an image of an old man struggling to breathe. His death was a kind release from his suffering from a long illness and for me turned into one of the most challenging times of my life. After a complete mental and physical breakdown I emerged from it a stronger individual and was able to master my grief by means of my art. I used all the memories that had be given to me in that small family unit in that equally small village of Springside, turning what I remembered into paintings of a bygone and happier era. So thank you Dad for all that you gave to me, whether you realised it or not, I will cherish all the memories all the days of my life. If my paintings make you the viewer feel the same way about your own personal history then it makes me doubly glad. So I raise a glass to you dad, Cheers!" 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
