Good morning, Glasgow. It's a clear, but chilly start to the day, but the rather spectacular sunrise made getting up and about early well worth the effort.

Looking east down a Glasgow street at sunrise. A statue of a man on horseback with a plastic road cone on his head is silhouetted against the pink and purple sky.

Danish Pastry met a superhero! 🦇🦹🏻‍♂️

Photo of Danish Pastry, the Mastodon stuffed toy, being held in the arm of a life-sized Batman statue outdoors during a bright, sunny morning. The bottom-up shot is pointed up towards the bronze "Batman" sculpture by Alejandro Pereira Ezcurra, based on artwork by Jim Lee. The sculpture of Batman is standing with a stern expression, facing straight forward as he holds Danish Pastry between his right fist and hip, his cape draping over his left arm.

We made snow gnomes! It was a lot easier than I would have imagined.

There is a #Canadian community snow sculptor named Matt Morris who has a website with amazing photos of his sculptures (I particularly like "two feet of snow"), as well as instructions on how to prepare the snow and how to make a snow gnome yourself. Check it out: https://snowbankproductions.weebly.com/

The shorter of our two gnomes. It has a pointy hat, big nose, and wavy beard.

"BERGHOLT STUTTLEY JOHNSON!! I just asked you to build a bloody fire escape – how did you do THAT wrong?"
"I got… enthusiastic."

#Sculpture “A Spring in Your Step” by Alex Chinneck

A metal structure on the side of a building looks like a fire escape towards the bottom, but as it goes up, the metal bars curve away in different directions, looking like a broken spring

An amusing, and presumably temporary, addition to Paul Raphael Montford's statue of Philosophy on the Kelvin Way Bridge in Glasgow. I guess it makes a change from a road cone!

Were classical statues painted horribly? - Works in Progress Magazine

Many claim that modern viewers dislike painted reconstructions of Greek and Roman statues because our taste differs from theirs.

I don't know why there's a huge statue of a bear on a black marble throne on Eglinton Ave near Leslie Street, but here it is ...
#toronto #sculpture

A statue of a bear, in bronze or bronze coloured resin. It is seated on a black marble throne on top of a plinth. Robes, also sculpted, hang off the back and sides of the throne in a regal manner

It is very large: perhaps 2 or 3 times life size. It has a neutral posture, as if that's its rightful place. The dramatic effect is somewhat lessened by the whole being surrounded by construction fencing
