‘Central Station, Glasgow’, Pastel, 2003
If you follow this page regularly you’ll have seen this drawing several times, but even though I did it 10 years ago now, I still like it. The original drawing is now on permanent display at the Royal National Institute for the Blind’s centre in Edinburgh. It’s quite a large piece measuring I think about 140 cm x 80 cm and is based on Glasgow’s wonderfully impressive Central Station. I catch the train to Irvine from here quite regularly and on a winter morning when the sun is shining through the glass roof it can be a confusing place for me with the bright light and deep shadows and silhouettes.
Anyway, this being almost Christmas and that, I thought I’d show this piece again as it now available as a high quality reproduction …..could make the perfect present for someone who loves Glasgow and its fabulous station.
