Jean Miller, born in Saint Helier, Jersey, was an actress as well as a painter. Her dazzling landscapes of red hills and blue sheep around her home town of Hay-on-Wye attracted a following well beyond the Welsh borders.

This painting celebrates Miller’s love and fascination with colour. Miller’s approach to art, as to life, was deceptively breezy and direct. She never bothered with drawings and usually started with a daub of red. 'Once I’ve got the shapes,' she said, 'I just paint the colours out of my head. I don’t think about it. The less you think, the better you paint. If you follow your instinct, it’s like having an angel on your shoulder.'
