Beauty pete looks so real.
You say you are just starting. I will be looking forward to seeing what you can do with some experience. Maybe an entry for the Archibald!

Hey Mozzie,
Great to see your fine artwork getting the attention it deserves, congratulations. Visual astronomy is alive and well and so is the art of sketching.
Probably been done before........

Congratulations Mozzie,
It's a beautiful sketch and well deserved, and what a rewarding experience that must be!
Now your family have got no excuse to call you in at night- you can tell them you are on the road to fame and need to make your next big contribution. I can hear it now.. Mozzie to family: "Please serve breakfast to a hungry and tired astronomer at 5am pls, solar observing now calls. Just make sure they don't throw at you. They would to me.
