I really like how you did the hair on this one. It flows. also, the eyes, they are really good too, deep, i can get lost in them

:-) Julia Francis-Dolling replies: "Hello Emily, That is exactly what the painting was supposed to do so thank you, I love doing hair, I just posted a new picture 'Jehnsen' if you like the eys on this one I think you will like her as well, she is a progression of Purple really, I wanted to see how my work had changed since I first started Purple. Thanks again "

WOW SHE'S AMAZING. No really WOW *Kneels down and worships you*

:-) Julia Francis-Dolling replies: "OOh goody worship, there is always room for that, no I'm only messing get up of the floor, thanks very much."

This one has a real feeling; I believe she can be some kind of guard - more than just a little scary thanks to her abilities unless you trust her with your heart and life. Only he/she who overcome the fear of being known to the core, of being disabled to hide his/her darker thoughts and feelings, is worth her company and protection.
Great work!

:-) Julia Francis-Dolling replies: "Thanks Lawenta, I really like to put so much into their eyes, I like the picture to look back at you. I'm glad you like her"

Can you teach me how to do hair?? I love the motion in this, like she's floating in the air. The colouring is amazing too. And her eyes are very watchful and piercing. Good work!

1 Julia Francis-Dolling replies: "Drop me a line and I'll give you some pointers;-) "

Her eyes . . . they're so penetrating!

3 Julia Francis-Dolling replies: "Hello again Jessica, the whole painting was about the eyes, glad it worked. Thanks again."
