Ellen's painting

It's a while now since Ellen finished her painting of Nemi. I think it's a beautiful picture, of how she should have lived rather than how I let her go to waste. Ellen is turning into quite a productive painter, and while most of her work relfects a sense of stark realism, this painting is more of a foray into the abstract. Despite the sad realities it will forever make me remember, I'm in love with it.

The word is that once Ellen is done with her service with the royal guards, she might accept commissions for more of the same. Or something entierely different; I think she is starting to show that she can deliver pretty much whatever you ask.
