In this painting I tried to capture to chill of the wind that only a Glasgow Autumn can provide. I used to live on this street and every time I rounded the corner to come home, a huge gust of wind would hit me like a punch from a professional boxer. The wind would dry out my eyes, swiftly blow through my clothes, chill my bones then exit behind me. I also had to walk face down at a 45 degree angle just to keep balanced. In two years, I never felt truly warm in Glasgow.
