I did paintings because they were easier than rhyming words or somesuch. I've always hated bards who had no "talents." As Warmaster I was of the mind that if a bard had no talent he wasn't worth having in the Empire because a perfect society needs artists. I was never going to promote any bards that didn't display some sort of something either through notes, lectures, or otherwise.

For those who put things in the Lyceum if you're interested in having my paintings I can email them or something.
