An exciting new chapter has begun at Mills Studio. Since 1979, Charlie Mills has painted over 250 paintings of Avatar Meher Baba and His mandali. This, to date, is one of the largest bodies of work dedicated to Meher Baba. A large number of Charlie's original paintings are in private collections and have not been widely viewed. During the next year, Mills Studio will be offering 50 original works as museum quality, fine art Giclée prints.

Currently in our online Giclée Gallery, we have 8 of the 50 paintings available posted for you to browse through. You may purchase a print from the online gallery selection or view the full collection available at Mills Studio when visiting Myrtle Beach. Please check back often for new additions.

BABA'S BIRTHDAY SALE - Giclée Sale Prices Listed Below.
SALE ENDS MAY 15, 2008.

Blue Bus Tour  (88-7)  1988
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  40"x 48"   $650
also available:  24"x 30"   $400

This painting is inspired from a photo believed to have been taken during the Blue Bus tour 1938-1939.

Birthday Party, Meher Center  (01-2)  2001
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  11"x 14"   $175

In 1958, a "birthday party" was given for the children at Meher Center - cake, presents, and a hug from the Beloved.

London, 1931  (82-0)   1982
Original: Oil on Canvas
Giclée Print:  30"x 24"   $400

This painting, in Baba's bedroom in Meherazad, was done from a photo taken in London in 1931. It's my guess the painter, Julian Lamar, used the same photo for the portrait in Baba's House at Meher Center.

Rahuri 1936  (91-23)   1991
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  52"x 42"   $700

Baba's first mast ashram was in Rahuri, 23 miles from Meherabad. Baba called masts "God-intoxicated" souls. He bathed and fed them and worked with them on spiritual levels for eight months at Rahuri.

Eyes Divine  (00-3)   2000
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  20"x 16"   $250

The brush allows the rendition of delicate detail and nuances of shadow and color. Sometimes the artist tires of such narrative expression. Loose brushwork or use of a painting knife makes a more suggestive form and encourages the viewer's eye to complete the image.

Mehera  (93-2)   1993
Original: Oil on Canvas
Giclée Print:  30"x 24"   $400

"Mehera loves Me as I should be loved."

Mani  (98-3)  1998
Original: Oil on Canvas
Giclée Print:  24"x 20"   $300

Bright, humorous, and as fun-loving as a child, Baba's sister Mani lovingly helped communicate for Baba and the mandali with her regular letters to the West.

Inner Work  (99-6)  1999
Original: Oil, Acrylic, and Charcoal Pencil on Canvas
Giclée Print:  14"x 11"   $175

Working with this image provided a sense of privilege, as if being allowed to observe a very private moment.

By the Picket Fence  (89-19)  1989
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  40"x 30"   $525
Giclée Print:  24"x 18"   $300

The bright colors and the fence Baba is leaning on suggest a springtime visit to the west.

Divine Labor Day  (89-27)  1989
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  16"x 12"   $215

Some of Meher Baba's "work days" were physically draining. This image was probably taken from a day of bathing the lepers. The painting itself was a breeze; it seemed to paint itself.

Seclusion Hill  (89-26)    1989
Original: Acrylic on Canvas
Giclée Print:  52"x 40"   $700

Seclusion Hill, adjacent to Meherazad, is where Baba stayed in 1947 for His special work. Ali Shah, the mast, stayed nearby in another hut where Baba visited him several mornings during that time.
