I picked up this coloring book back in 2017, but I’ve never colored anything from it. Mainly because the drawings are on the front and back pages, so I don’t want to pull them from the book the way I do single-sided pages I color from other books.
Most of the things I color I put on Instagram instead of here, but tonight I wanted to do a quick coloring session while I worked out something in my next chapter in my brain. (I color A LOT to prepare for writing fiction.) So I grabbed this book and fell for this picture. Didn’t photograph it before I colored it.
Here’s the blurb. The drawing is based on a photo in Vogue from the September issue, 1955.
For fun, I did some research. The model–actually a supermodel of her time–was Anne St. Marie, who was married to renowned photographer Tom Palumbo. He took thousands of photos of her, and she was truly sensational. Here’s the original Vogue photo taken by Henry Clarke.
