Flying Downhill Little Gem is an original oil painting by Alexander Millar. It shows the artist's classic 'Gadgie"character sitting on a bike cycling away from the viewer.

Flying Downhill Little Gem is an original oil painting by Alexander Millar.

“Back in the day, there were more bikes than cars in the village where I grew up.

It wasn’t a lifestyle choice relating to health or the environment - it was the only transport most could afford.

Although a necessity, you could still have a wee bit of fun , freewheeling down the hill!

Flying Downhill original oil painting - one of my 'Little Gems' - is on a smaller scale than my usual artworks - and I'm really pleased how the larger frame adds to the impact of the painting."

The oversized, dramatic frame with sliver slip contrasts in scale with the painting, creating a highly impactful artwork suitable for any wall space.

Flying Downhill Little Gem is in a dramatic, oversized black frame with a sliver slip and can be viewed in our Glasgow Gallery.
