Excuse me for a long silence but i’m depressed and i stopped my sketcher’s activiti for three monts.But i have followed your great sketches expecially the sketches of Frank,my great Moon’s sketcher.All the sketches was great,compliment at all,in Italy don’t exist one web site for sketchers,the astronomy papers don’t want the sketches, only photos….i hope in future..

  1. Giorgio that is an amazing sketch, creating that must have helped with your depression? When you feel down get your pencils out my friend.

    I agree totally, Frank is a great inspiration to us all.

  4. Giorgio,

    I am happy to see your wonderful sketch.
    I did see your sketch at Birr Castle via Deidre Kelleghan’s slide show on-line. Your many sketches here have been and continue to be a treat for us all. I still can visualize that wonderful sketch you made of the moon and the Pleiades back a year or so ago.
    Thank you for your kind words. I draw inspiration from fellow sketchers including you Giorgio.

    Frank 🙂
