Charity Art Auction 2024

“Sometimes it's easy to walk by because we know we can't change someone's whole life in a single afternoon. But what we fail to realise is that simple kindness can go a long way toward encouraging someone who is stuck in a desolate place.”
― Mike Yankoski

COLLECTION: Eight Miles Away by Tony Mills

An elderly man slept in a bus shelter opposite me for a year on the noisy seafront. Deeply moved by his resilience, I painted his portrait, hoping to raise funds to help him. 'Eight Miles Away' symbolises the warmth of a distant wind farm illuminating his nightly shelter.

All prints from this series are printed on Somerset Velvet archival paper and signed by the artist.

Available in A5, A4, A3, A2 and A1 sizes.

8 Miles Away - The Shelter
4 Miles Away - The man who sold the world
7 Miles Away - The Cathedral
