I Think Not
I Think Not by American Painter Gil Elvgren (1914 – 1980); umdwebi, umdwebi wezithombe kanye nomculi wentombazane ophina.
I Think Not shows a stunning full figure pin-up girl in a yellow swimsuit and hair cap, kneeling on a diving board; as she looks down at the pool re-thinking diving into the pool from such a height, as she realizes the way down is very long indeed.
I Think Not is an excellent example as to why Gil was such a commercial success, as his pin-up girl artwork is beautiful as well as amusing.
