One of the best things about living in Glasgow is turning a corner and finding yourself looking up at a roof like this!
The former Ogg Brothers Department Store at Paisley Road Toll was designed by Bruce and Hay, and was built in the 1880s. It's topped by the Spirit of Commerce and Industry, who is perhaps better known as the Kinning Park Angel, the Angel of the South, or simply Mrs. Ogg.
I'm not one for making religious art, but if you know me at all and still decide to drop an angel kit in my lap, you should have known this would happen.
Sharing a piece from my personal journal. I am not neuro-typical and I need to engage my hands in order to not zone out. I sketch to keep my brain awake whenever I am in a class, listening to a talk or waiting for an appt.
I love the angel railings of the 1850s townhouses on Woodlands Terrace in the Park area of Glasgow. Whether by design or by accident, all the angels face towards the main tower of Trinity College, the former Free Church Seminary, which stands at the end of this street.
