    great drawings. you must have had a fabulous hidden pen with you. The people are talking locking at you, turning their back, facing you, and the pen is just… recording! Supppper!

    Thanks everyone, really enjoyed making the pictures. Big fan of Seth! It was a combination of his lovely use of watercolours in Wimbeldon Green and a good chat I had with Brian Fitzgerald about his amazing recent watercolours at the last open meeting that inspired me to dust off the old box and have a go. Really loving them again.
