La Dolce Vita

More about La Dolce Vita

Traditional hand-painted pin-up illustration, using oil paint on smooth illustration board inspired by the glamorous illustrations of Gil Elvgren and 1950s advertising art. A glamorous adult redhaired woman with dramatic turquoise-blue eye shadow, winged eyeliner, rosy cheeks, glossy bright-pink lipstick and opal oval hoop earrings. Her expression is dreamy, flirtatious, and slightly absent-minded. She wears a white long-sleeved cotton blouse with sleeves rolled up to elbows, loosely fitted and untucked, paired with black leggings. Full-body seated pin-up pose on the floor. Her torso remains mostly upright while leaning slightly forward and toward one side. Props include: a glass of wine, a portable radio and a book. Creamy beige background.
