The Shop - An Exterior

"The Shop - An Exterior" depicts a detailed cityscape scene capturing the ornate facade of The Lion Chambers in Glasgow. The building’s stonework features a lion's head and upper court judges, reflecting its original purpose as legal offices. Rendered with delicate pencil strokes and subtle washes reminiscent of watercolor techniques, the painting emphasizes the building's textured exterior and historic character. Its somewhat experimental construction using the Hennebique System adds a unique industrial element to the composition. The artwork's style hints at Impressionism, capturing the building's atmospheric presence amidst urban life—though the future of the structure remains uncertain.
