This is a modern architectural addition to Glasgow's subway system, the St. Enoch station. It lies in the core of the downtown nearby one of the original subway stations that is now a cafe. The structure was made of mostly transparent glass, with stainless steel at the bottom. When I sat on this location it seemed like the impossible mission of watercolours, but I knew if I could get the perspective drawing correct on the complex shape of the subway entrance then the rest of the painting would hang together. The other challenge was that the landscape behind the glass was warped and altered by the curved and transparent glass panels. Not to mention is was about to rain here, but luckily it held off until I was complete.
