Picture Pretty
Picture Pretty by American Painter Gil Elvgren (1914 – 1980); tusiata, fa'ata ma tama'ita'i tufuga pine.
This is a sexy elegant pin up girl illustration of a beautiful young brunette with a red carnation on the right side of her hair wearing diamond earrings and a diamond necklace.
She is dressed in an off shoulder red velour evening dress with border trimming that goes around the top portion of the dress and forms straps for her arms; as well as a matching pair of high heel evening gold tone shoes; and lastly arms length white silk evening gloves.
I replaced the background of the image with one of my digital art creations that I de-saturated creating a grey scale image.
