Michael Miller
"Autumnal Evening" - Oil on Linen Panel, Atmospheric Nocturne 2025

2024

About the Item

Michael Miller’s "Autumnal Evening" is a captivating oil painting on linen panel that embodies the quiet stillness of rural landscapes at night. Measuring 12 x 12 inches unframed (17 x 17 inches framed), this piece is an exquisite example of contemporary realism infused with a dreamlike, almost cinematic atmosphere. The composition features a stark white farmhouse set against a rich, darkened sky, illuminated by the warm glow of an unseen light source. Smoke drifts gently from the chimney, hinting at life within, while the surrounding field of overgrown grasses is softly lit, creating a luminous contrast against the dark background. The meticulous rendering of light and shadow showcases Miller’s exceptional control over atmosphere and depth. Executed with oil on linen panel, this piece demonstrates the artist's refined brushwork and sensitivity to mood, emphasizing the interplay between solitude and warmth. The painting is presented in a custom frame measuring 17 x 17 inches, enhancing its presence and making it ready for immediate display. Artist Bio/Statement: Michael Miller’s paintings try to capture essence of rural America. His tonal approach aims to give the viewer a sense of nostalgia and reflect on a way of life that is slipping away. My work is a never ending quest to find the beauty and truth that lies in the simplicity of rural America. Growing up, my parents took me to many Civil War battlefields. Even at a young age, the barns and wide open well manicured fields made a huge impression on me. They seemed to be frozen in time and there was something sacred woven into those places. I started painting landscapes because I didn’t know how to express my love for them in any other form. It is my hope that my work freezes a way of life that is passing, beckoning all viewers to reflect on some distant memory. I approach each painting differently, in the past I relied mostly on memory when building a composition. Today I’m focused more on the specific details and locations, trying to understand why I’m drawn to them and how they move me. Sometimes I’ll use reference photos or do a rudimentary plein air sketch of a location before taking it back to the studio and building from it. I like to think of my work as representational while borrowing techniques from tonalist and impressionist painters. I work primarily in oils and paint on linen and canvas surfaces. I strive to create a quality product by using some of the finest art supplies and pigments. I am self taught as an artist, though there have been plenty of artists who have passed down sage advice, as well as inspired me.
