Art is less what we see with our eyes, but more what we feel with our whole being.

Everything can change in a moment, but some things never do. The world is a beautiful place, even when it's not. We can make our own beauty.

What do you do when you hit a wall?

Do you keep trying until you have a headache? Do you turn around and go do something different? Do you enlist the support of others and come up with a series of plans? Do you try to find a way around the wall? Do you accept the wall is there and it's not going to move?

I think I'd like to paint the wall. Loud colours and big letters. 'Denica Was Here' or some other mildly amusing comment.

I had the privilege of meeting with the Orazian Sentinels, who fought with us in the Mourning Isles, as they celebrated the end of the war. I was able to do a bunch of sketches and observe them with each other. Everyone of them has a story, filled with strife and struggle but also with hope and perseverance. It was an honour to try to capture this sentiment through art. I brought the sketches back and have taken that to create what I hope is a work of art that captures what I saw and felt in their company. The painting is finished, and I am trying to find the best place to hang it. This is always the part I find the most challenging. Finding just the right spot. Somewhere visible and can be appreciated by others as we remember how important that freedom is.

Do you know why revenge is best served cold?

Because it's just ice.

Always Alabaster and sometimes Scarlet, maybe even Chartreuse.
Never ever Periwinkle, though often Soot and Sable.
But don't go Sepia, it's rarely worth the fuss.

Yes, if you touch the flame it will burn you.

But, how else does one learn how to walk through the fire?

If you can't handle the heat, step away from the flame.

Forgive me when the smoke clears, I only know who I am.

The Duke of Southport's dance strategies are not entirely unlike his military ones.

Relationship Note on Margot

The last time we met, I came to you scared and left braver than ever.

You were an incredible woman. A role model. A Way Forward. My sister by more than marriage, and my friend.

I will never forget.

Sometimes a whisper is enough to reach a crowd, while other times you must scream, just to be heard by one person.
