You have captured the moon on the sea perfectly! A very beautiful and contemplative piece. I enjoyed reading about the Zen paintings and painters and I also appreciate your picks. You always teach me new things!

My favorite Moon so far! It’s gorgeous, Massimo.

BTW, I think you put the wrong link this week, maybe you like to check it… just in case :)

Abrazos :)

Caro Max, questo disegno è meraviglioso. Forse è quello che più mi piace, finora dei tuoi che conosco. Forse è perfino più bello… hai capito no?, Tristissimo, profondo, da restare senza alcuna parola.
come forse ogni disegno vero e bello dovrebbe suscitare. Far rimanere senza parole.
un abbraccio caro, ciao vanna
