Thank you David. You're right, life was so much simpler and tiring also but we were young and strong. Derek, urban is a style of drawing everyday objects, buildings, cars, traffic and people. I suppose it really means modern, I think. I bought a great book by Felix Scheinberger called Urban Watercolour Sketching which inspires me a lot. Thank you very much for commenting. Thank you very much Paul and Marjorie for your comments. My daughter is such an excellent artist, drawing being her speciality so I'm not sure about showing this and she doesn't follow my POL adventures.

This is great - I like to do these occasionally too. I think you should tell your daughter.

Many thanks Cesare and Frank. She has seen it now but I haven't had any comment yet.

This is super, Satu! So much vitality and energy to the piece and I love the bold washes and loose lines. Fabulous!

Desperately trying to do funny, carefree and very loose sketches of people. This is my daughter aged 10 months or so. I'm not going to show it to her!
