Simply..just looking....

13/11/2018

Before I had made any Artist Date plans an offer came of a lift to the city and I said yes. I arrived in the Merchant City area which I don't know very well without my usual plans and lists, and realised this was the perfect opportunity for an Artist Date - just to wander and look, without a purpose, but with my camera.....

I also popped into some posh shops (a bit outside my comfort zone). Gorgeous fabrics - tweeds with a twist. Not really my style, but I did enjoy looking.

This was too far outside my comfort zone though! So I stayed outside it.

What a beautiful morning! Looks like you were up and about very early as there is hardly another soul around. I do love Glasgow's sandstone buildings.

It was about 10am and a beautiful day. I think this are comes alive at night and weekends...

Your pictures are beckoning me up to Glasgow for a visit - we had a lovely long weekend there and always said we would go back.
I am still pondering on the Artists Date - may leave it to the new year to join in as life here is a bit hectic at present.
I could see you in Fairisle and tweed.

Hope you make it to Glasgow again Viv. Look forward to you joining in!

Lovely that you were able to catch a ride to Glasgow instead of having to take the more circuitous (and longer) public transport route. Enjoying your architectural photos. The gorgeous fabrics are always a draw, too, even if outside the comfort of my purse. Will likely join Viv in waiting until after the new year to contemplate the Artists Date. Life is a bit too crazy at the moment.

Sometimes an impromptu adventure, with no itinerary, is the most fun of all! What a glorious day you had for it, too, Freda! I love that blue sky! I feel lucky that despite living in a small city (28K), we have endless cultural options here. One could be busy every day. This weekend i am going to the “carnegie international” in pittsburgh. A huge international art exhibit that takes pleace every 5 years.

It was all the nicer for being unexpected Gail.

I picked up an interesting little book in the Edinburgh storytelling centre in the Royal Mile- called 52 Dates for Writers by Claire Wingfield. Very useful for artists too. Maybe Santa could provide a copy...

Thank you Liz - I will look that one up.

Visited Walker Slater's website just now for their woman's wear. Beautiful tweeds evoking the spirit of Wuthering Heights.

So many details to admire in your photographs. All the different ornaments on the buildings are fascinating.

I might take another trip to focus on the details. All those tweed things were beautifully made.
