"Citizens Theatre, Glasgow" was painted from a reference photograph obtained on the internet in August 2009. The trees and traffic lights obscuring the theatre were omitted from the painting. The poster information was provided by the buyer, Joyce Wilson, who particularly wanted Des Dillon's, "Singin' I'm No A Billy He's A Tim" on the billboards as this played at the theatre in June 2009. The poster shows Scott Kyle, as "Billy" and Colin Little as "Tim".

It is painted using acrylic on canvas board measuring 508 x 406 mm (20" x 16"). The painting is protected by a two coats of gloss varnish and was signed and dated by glesca artist, William M. Neilly, in August 2009. More examples of paintings by glesca artist can be seen on his website:
