Millport Dusk – The Eileans and Beyond

Bring the calm of a Millport evening into your home with this original oil and cold wax painting - an expressive view looking out across Newtown Bay toward Wee Cumbrae and Arran fading in the distance.

Inspired by the quiet magic of coastal evenings, this piece glows with layered purples, smoky greys, and soft blues, with a warm, dreamlike hue throughout. Bold palette knife marks and cold wax textures add richness and movement to the surface, evoking the breeze, light, and shifting sea.

Sailing boats rest gently around The Eileans in the middle distance—familiar to anyone who’s wandered Millport’s seafront—while the foreground’s dark coastal rocks add natural depth and contrast.

Whether you’ve spent holidays exploring Millport and Great Cumbrae or simply love the west coast’s quiet beauty, this atmospheric painting captures a moment many hold dear. A striking piece for collectors of Scottish coastal art and anyone drawn to the nostalgic pull of island views.

This ready to hang painting measures 12" x 12" and is mounted and presented in a 16" x 16" white wooden frame with glass glazing.
