Malcolm Milne (Born 1887 – Died 1954) was born in Myrtleford. He was a visual artist who specialized in flowers and Still life. His medium of choice was Watercolor. There were several advantages that swayed his decision to use watercolors. They are easy clean up and so it was practically impossible for him to ruin his brushes even if he forgot to wash them, it wasn’t a big deal. He could just rinse them out before he started painting the next time. He also liked them because they don’t involve the use of any harsh chemicals and are completely odor-free. Several works by Milne have been sold at auction, while others are availed in many art stores around the world. Milne was one of the best artists in Britain.
He got interested in art from an early age and knew that he would make a career out of it. He managed to become one and was able to capture beautiful flowers and still lifes for businesses, individuals or for home decor. Milne decided to become an artist so as to quench his burning desire to share with others what he felt about nature. Several years after his death, his prints still stand out in crowd because they give life to flowers and bring a fresh new look to still lifes. His art is characterized by colors not necessarily that are uniquely his own. He’s pleased with his work, but he was always searching, both within and outwardly, to see where this artistic journey was going to take him.
