Oil paintings evoke 95-year-old Glasgow artist's memories of the 1930s

A new exhibition will feature the work of a 95-year-old man who has spent his retirement painting his childhood memories of Glasgow from the 1930s.

Art by Tommy, which opens later this month at Sogo Arts Gallery, Saltmarket, will showcase a selection of nostalgic oil paintings by 95-year-old artist Thomas 'Tommy' McGoran.

The heartfelt paintings recall Tommy's memories of being brought up in a bygone Glasgow where children embarked on endless adventures with their pals in dilapidated tenement back courts and raced each other in homemade 'guidy barrows'.
