I loved the explanations of the paintings and Brian's internal struggle to figure them out.

We never see Brian struggle when Justin's work is representational; he doesn't have to. I wondered what would happen when he first saw Justin's abstracts, and the rest, as they say, is history.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I like the idea of this story. And the murky green eyes made me laugh.

[faramir_boromir]

I thought about having one of the paintings actually be all murky green, but it seemed too easy. And too close to representational to make picky!Justin happy. But yeah. Murky green.

Glad you liked it.

This fic is nicely crafted together bringing together several factors that make up Brian and Justin. Brian's need to give Justin what he needs. Justin pushing himself and Brian providing insight and support. This fic was clever and tender.

Wow, thanks for the close reading. That's exactly what I was aiming for: Brian hoping to be supportive, and Justin needing to move the next step in his artistic development.

This fic was clever and tender.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
