This drawing, entitled “Allison & The Bishop” was created in 1984. At my first week studying Interior Design at college, our lecturer, the Glasgow Artist George Devlin set a project where we had to spend two weeks at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum sketching. It seemed like an odd start to a four year college course but 2 weeks were duly spent at Kelvingrove.
One day I was joined by my long time friend, who I sketched sitting on the wall next to the Bishop Statue at the rear of the building.
Looking at this drawing now, I think I was more adept with a simple pencil than I realised and i don’t know if I would have the patience a quarter of a century later to draw this way.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery is Glasgow’s top attraction and a favourite haunt of mine to this day. I still think of this drawing every time I visit.
