I'm now sitting in the library of the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art, located in the heart of the city of Glasgow. Our group is only in this large city for two nights--- but that's all I really need. I'm ready to get out in the country again!
I had the greatest morning today touring the Glasgow School of Art, which is a VERY prestigious art school- known world-wide. The school may not be in the greatest of cities (Glasgow is pretty gross city-wise), but the actual building is gorgeous!! It was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a very famous Glasgow architect and artist. Each part of the building was specifically designed to inspire the art students, and it's just a beautiful building. I wish I could study art in a building like that! I just couldn't live in a city like Glasgow.
Anyway, the tour was very inspiring and got me excited to go back to Whitworth in the spring and paint in the NEW Whitworth art building which was designed to maximise the light-- so it should be wonderful! I can't wait.
We're headed to Wales tomorrow. We'll be spending time on the coast... a week or so, and then heading back in towards London for the last portion of our arts trip. I've been enjoying the arts portion of the trip very much. So much art work to see!
I'm off to enjoy my last day in Scotland!
Lots of love...
