Millar found his inspiration once he traded in his small hometown for the much larger Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England, where he encountered the local “¿Gadgies,” whom he began to depict in his paintings alongside images and objects remembered from childhood. Millar’s paintings capture precise moments that are lovingly created and all the more poignant because they depict the increasingly rare characters of Old Scotland. He has no formal training, but the self-taught Millar’s touching and playful paintings are an audience favorite. In a competition of ten thousand or so works entered in the Daily Mail’s “Not the Turner Prize,” Millar was chosen as a finalist and exhibited at London’s Mall Galleries.
