He became a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists in 1961. In 1964, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Visiting the Isles of Scilly led to his beach paintings, and after living at Sancreed for many years he painted from a house on the beach at Lelant where some of his most evocative paintings were done. The blue and white images of beaches, sky and sea have become a trademark of both his artistic style and personality plus his deep, spiritual and religious beliefs give colour and intensity to his images. The painting which has been donated to our auction uses a completely different colour palette to Miller's usual blue palette, which makes this painting even more special.  |
