Judy Ann MacMillan's work at Rockfield is one aspect of her extensive activity as a landscape painter. Her landscape paintings fall into a number of different categories. Most visitors to Jamaica think of Jamaica in terms of its wonderful beaches, suffused in dazzling light, and there are a number of images of these here. However, MacMillan is also keenly interested in other aspects of Jamaica’s intricate topography – in buildings from the colonial period, in the way the appearance of the island has been shaped by intensive agriculture, and in the ‘inland’ Jamaica which was of interest to the makers of nineteenth-century topographical prints. Like her mentor Albert Huie, she also has a passion for Jamaica’s beautiful trees, which play an important role in giving Jamaican scenery its special texture.
