Machrie Moor Standing Stones

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.

Machrie Moor Standing Stones is a drawing made during the artists time on the Isle of
Arran. She wanted to capture the magnitude and scale of the stones within the
landscape. During her time there, Millicent was swatching the oranges, minks, rusty reds
and cool greens on the island in mid-spring and used these colours as a
limited palette.
