I'd still be interested to know more about an existing
PC who has "painting" as an important part of his
character. A justification has obviously been found
for what sounds like an interesting concept, in this
context or any other, and being able to borrow it
would be good.

Tolkein used this sort of thing to great effect in the
Silmarillion, first at the start (effectively Paradise
Lost done with a musical metaphor), then later as a
duel - I'm not sure I remember who the two
particpipants were, though. Finrod Felegund and
Sauron? Trying to Google based on my memories of a few
lines...
yes!
