Cullercoats

Cullercoats is a signed, limited edition Giclee print on paper of the original oil painting by Alexander Millar.

“My ‘gadgies’ are usually seen from the point of view of a child (me) - looking up at men and women in baggy suits and coats - all from another era.

In this artwork from my Sense of Place collection, my point of view is from up on the clifftop -  looking down at people at play on a North Sea beach. 

Distance blurs the individuals, but to me, this perspective makes them fit so well into the surrounding landscape - where the shoreline seems to puts its arms around the holidaymakers.”
