17 Nov 2002	Louise A. Philips	Loading... Her fingers look a little stubby to me, but i looove this painting it must have taken u so long. I especially like the way you've painted the candles, they really look like they're melting
18 Nov 2002	Kathleen Serge	Loading... Her hair is incredible. I love this painting of yours, especially the way you have composed it to really draw the viewers eye down to the princess, and around her to her hair. The only critique I have is that the black on the stained glass is a bit strong and detracts from the rest of the painting. trots off to view more beautiful artwork
9 Dec 2002	Rabified	Loading... Her hair is just big but lovely too, I also like you candles too, they are done well with watercolour.
18 Feb 2003	White Wolf	Loading... This is SO beautiful. It makes me want to cry, for her face reflects the sorrow she is said to have in the book. This is great.
22 Feb 2003	Anonymous	Loading... this is beautiful.When u discribe the painting on how her hair keeps growing because of an enchantres.Reminds me of the moive the 10th kingdom.The gypsy woman puts a curse on Virginia so her hair never stops growing.Untill they have to find a speical axe to cut her hair off then the cruse would be undone.Ilove how the her beautiful his soooooooo long and lovely her expression on her face is wounderfull.You do so well with watercollors.Have u ever though of doing some of your paintings in acurylics paints.?
23 Feb 2003	Mariah	Loading... Wow she is so cool .
19 Oct 2003	Laura Michelle 'Celebanna' Billson	Loading... Yes! Thank you for drawing this. This is one of my favourite scenes from the whole book - and you've done a good job portraying it!
29 Feb 2004	Jonathan M. Snooks	Loading... That is cool. Looks like you used watercolours.
11 Dec 2004	Jana L. Johnson	Loading... this is so great! I haven't seen this scene portrayed very often... or at all... anyways, this is great, I especially love the candles...
12 Nov 2005	Carrie R. Rains	Loading... Oh this does remind me a bit of that scene in The 10th Kingdom. I love that movie! However the mood in the movie is a bit more comical and the mood in this picture is much more sad and somber.
