 Also, there are several pieces that were created by Faith, painstakingly described here by order of creation for the benefit of the imaginatively challenged: Also, there are several pieces that were created by Faith, painstakingly described here by order of creation for the benefit of the imaginatively challenged:
   * **Equanimity**:​ [[Fiona]] by the water - oil on a widescreen canvas. Most of the frame is taken by storming currents of green and blue, decorated with white froth. Some of it is sky, some of it sea, but it's completely seamless, and gives an almost cubist feel of changing perspective. The rightmost third of the frame is a close-up on Fiona, in 3/4 view, gazing into something just beyond the bottom-left corner. Her hair looks like flames of copper, backdropped by all this green, and its curls follow the movement of the currents (or vice versa), but she herself is as serene as everything else is turbulent, an island of safety; her eyes are the only place in the picture where the viewer'​s eyes can possibly rest.   * **Equanimity**:​ [[Fiona]] by the water - oil on a widescreen canvas.

   ***Autumn**:​ the Latverian "​operating table" upon which Baron Hagen was lying wounded - aquarell on paper. At first glance the painting looks like a tree in fall, but the blotches of brown and yellows turn out to be blood and tent cloth and the patches of sky are dirty bandages and candles.   ***Autumn**:​ the Latverian "​operating table" upon which Baron Hagen was lying wounded - aquarell on paper.

   ***Subterfuge**:​ Lord Magni'​s great hall - acrylics on canvas. Another childish POV, from behind one of the two great sculptures on both sides of the fireplace. The great fire is visible on the left edge of the frame. Next to it stands the statue of Jarnsaxa which reaches all the way to the top of the frame, where it is cut at the neck. The right half of the frame is mostly the carved decorations on the back of the statue of Donraz, behind which the viewer is placed, and between the two statues lies the hall itself with its great table.   ***Subterfuge**:​ Lord Magni'​s great hall - acrylics on canvas.

 +  ***Treachery**:​ classic portrait of Duke Weiland - oil on canvas. Duke Weiland from boots to feathers, powerful stance, perfect smile, perfect skin. A bit too perfect. The painting uses something akin to the [[wp>​Uncanny Valley]] effect to make the Duke seem very untrustworthy for no obvious reason. Clearly the Prince has picked up a thing or two on Earth.
