What do you do Satu? Make sketches on location then Paint at home? The colouring here gives a good sense of the light.

Super Satu, like John says lovely light in this.

Well John, there's that marvellous invention called mobile phone with a camera which becomes very handy when you want to catch people in their natural habitat. I use it when I see something interesting that I would like to paint and then do it at home. I love to watch people and their body language in the Tube when total strangers sit next to each other for a couple of minutes. Sometimes they have a short conversation but most of the time they try to ignore the person next to them and turn away.

Thank you very much Gudrun and Val!

SUPERB one of my favourites of yours Satu , I do the same Satu I take photos anywhere and often they make nice little paintings , it seems much easier than sketching . I'm not knocking sketching mind . Any way love this painting .

Fabulous Satu, really like the palette and the highlights are perfect.

Lovin this, Satu.great colours and a loose abandoned feel to this.

Smashing capture and well painted but not correct. Those two should have mobiles and tablets. Doesn't everyone?

Thank you ever so much Dennis, Fiona, Andre and Derek for your lovely comments, always much appreciated. Derek, the lady is reading a newspaper! No tablet or mobile in sight!

I really really like this Satu. The poses are spot on, the girl's hand, the woman's legs just reaching the floor.Love the painted nails and the suggestion of the specs.

What can I say but superb Satu up with the masters

Many many thanks Marjorie and Dennis for your kind comments!

Satu, this has the typical anonimity of travellers on the London Underground, along with the immediate impression made in a transient situation such as this. What would stay with me here, is the pensive look on the face of the girl on the left. What is she thinking? What is going through her mind right now? Very well accented.

Good work Satu. You have caught the atmosphere well.

That's the thing Ruth, you'll never know her thoughts but the moment will stay in my mind and on the canvas. Thank you very much for your comment. Thank you Carole, very kind.

Thank you very much Jenny!
