Observing life in Glasgow, Scotland, the UK, Europe and Worldwide; be they movies, tv, travels, food or eccentricities. . .
This art is located in Ruthven Lane, just off from Byres Road, and is a porthole into a good many, smaller shops and organisations.
Am not sure, but this signature looks like its “Dan Leo” and have searched for him to see if he has other work to his name.
He appears to be not only highly talented, but also to specialise in large, street murals – well done!

What a surprise, a look at Glasgow’s quite small Christmas Market, dinner at a new restaurant on a very busy Glasgow Friday night, and then a completely pleasant walk into a very bright George Square – superb.
It started between the Xmas market, where we noticed a well known busker, Ben Montieth, who was an opener for Emilie Sands a few years ago, drawing a large crowd:
To a walk along Buchanan Street, itself very well lit up!
To the lights in George Square themselves, where my first impression was the simple amount of them! It turned the night into day, with many photo opportunities. First were the lights on the City Hall,
To various shots that included the Nativity Scene and some reindeer.
To the final shot, where a good deal of people, including our party, took a shot of themselves inside a lighted, hollow sphere.
I think it’s a Christmas bulb?

Another walk in the West End (I really need to go to the city centre more often, and I did, last Friday to see the illuminations in George Square, report to follow), and I came across a couple of new works, apparently from the same street artist, “Silva”?
Silva’s Work
Not really sure what to make of it, though there has been a glut of this during the recent lockdowns, but have been unable to ascertain just who they are? Though to the left, there appears to be some address; @silva.project, which is apparently their Instagram account; worth a look.
Though they do, apparently, like the female form.
