Circles

Part of a series of stone paintings made in Spring 2025 during a two-month trip
along the west coast of Scotland and the Inner- Hebrides.

Millicent's paintings often feature objects or symbols of human interference or
presence within the landscape and stones are one of the oldest examples
of this. The stones have always evoked a sense of mysticism and timelessness for the artist which translates to the paper when painting plein air. The paintings are created quickly and intuitively to capture fleeting moments within the changing landscape.

Circles in a painting looking at both the land and the stones upon it. Millicent was
intrigued by patches of grass circular shapes forming around the bottom of the
stones. The land mirroring the forms placed upon it, possibly a result of the
original timber circles the stones were positioned over. The stones
remain steady and unchanging in the ever-moving Scottish landscape
surrounding them.
