Rain in Glasgow is a very endearing image of the city street. The blurry effects and the simple inclusion of the tenement flats, cars and the rain add to the warmth and familiarity of the scene. The artwork brings the experience of Glasgow in Rain in a fleeting seconds to anyone who's had the chance to visit or live in this amazing city.
