    The big challenge for many artists, especially painters, is to capture the mood, the subjects may often be only secondary, accessories. Your wonderful writing skills are teaching us this process through a "domestic" crisis, the correlation is simply awesome. I just read a port-folio of paintings, huh, unbelievable!!

    Now, I'm ready with reading and it was a pleasure to me again... I wrote it once, I like your writing-style....with so well painted pictures today. It is a nice idea, to compare the various emotions with changes in a painting. Between this, you installed great small pics, when you painted the small smokes , which came out of Aleriks ears Or when you described the noises of his sleeping....fantastic...
    I like, how it is written all as a inner monolog from the sight of Larkspur....he is so sensual in observing Saga and so deep in his bounds to her.
    Such paintings belongs to a good story and are somtimes more important than happenings. In this way, you wrote very much for understanding the inner of this trio and the dog
    You were today the Bob Ross of the words

    Not to forget to mention the high quality of your pictures which are illustrating the story so well....great work in this way too

      I'm really glad you enjoyed this piece, dear!
      Thank you for your interesting observations, too. I agree with you - the still moments, or paintings as you call them, are very important when it comes to writing. I enjoy writing them very much so I'm super happy you found them bearable
      And to be compared to Bob Ross - d'awww I consider him one of the sweetest people that have ever lived and often watch the old episodes of his The Joy of Painting, so I'm really flattered.
      Thank you for your comment!

    First time I had to look a word up so far on a nexus story - chiaroscuro. Cool word and will have to try and remember it.

    Shows of your talent nicely as not only did you open up with that great viewpoint on an artist who paints but neatly tied the theme together later on in the story. Even much further down when you say things like "was a display of browns and oranges; a combination of blurred splashes and random spots any surrealist would gladly put their pallets." Enjoyed that aspect of the story. I also think I would prefer to paint then be painted - liked that line.

    So they are all back together but things are not the same. Tis true though - people, life, even animals (although I am thankful dogs are pretty consistent) do change. Even Larkspur is changing to some degree it sounds like. Lately he has been forced to confront a variety of uncomfortable truths - towards himself and others. His previous attitude towards life seems to be getting more serious than he would like.

    He is a smart one though and think he sees a bit deeper than the dog and blissful Alerik ... and Esbern doesn't really know her. But eventually someone breaks the game (that would have been me - I avoid people, parties, and social stuff partly because I hate those empty silences that make me feel so awkward and uncomfortable).

    I am not sure at all and perhaps it was me hoping and reading into things ... but near the end he seemed to see something in her that was not her ... I don't know if that was meant to imply he senses something about her that is not her, as in the Nightmother, even if he doesn't know what it is. As if he is sensing she is in some way possessed or under anther's control without knowing it. But who knows ... perhaps we shall see later.

      A long time ago I was really interested in art from the technical point of view - the process of painting a picture is not unlike constructing a clock (or writing), and I found that extremely fascinating. Chiaroscuro is one of the terms remaining from that time.

      You've made some really great points about Larkspur and I'm thankful for that. I really wanted some feedback on him, since I had to tell the story mostly through his eyes this time around: Alerik's point of view wouldn't feel... organic, so to speak, since he doesn't know Saga that well, and Saga herself, due to her current instability (and yes, possession of a sort), would be too difficult to handle. Also, you are right about him sensing that something is off, although I might have been a little bit too cryptic about it. When they reconcile he doesn't really look at her, feels that there is still a distance between them - and is happy that Alerik didn't see Saga's outburst (I also tried to change her way of speaking, but I still need to work on that).

      Thank you for your comment!

    so wonderful written and underlined with so beautiful dark pictures, dear Kayol.
    I still don't fully understand how these two are connected which each other... but I think they don't understand by theirselves. I am excited which way it will continue...

      If by these two you mean Larkspur and Saga, then their relationship is a tad complicated, indeed!

    I really liked how you used that description of they way the painter sees the world in hues of colour throughout this chapter, the emotions of Saga and Larkspur, her angry words, her touch of miserable mood all painted in strokes of colour, such an interesting way to depict them, to bring them out, there is much cleverness in you writing, my friend. It is great how you showed how much Larkspur had come to know Saga in their time together in how he saw something different in her, that the Saga that had returned was not quite the one he had come to know, that there is a shadow that follows her about. There was quite the tension in Larkspur confronting Saga about the facade she was putting up and it is nice to see that they forgave each other, that they shared a more tender moment after the sting of angry words, that they made a lovely painting of a couple

      I'm really glad you enjoyed the theme of this story - I wanted to experiment a little, maybe attempt to transfer one medium onto another. I think colours and words are a bit similar in a way we handle them.
      Thanks again!
