Julia. An He (Chinese, 1957-). Oil.
An He’s admiration and respect for women comes through in his work. There is a grace, a peek into the inner beauty of his subject.

Ballet themes and musical instruments find their way into his compositions as well.

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Live) - Paul Simon

People say she’s crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that’s one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
