Rolf Armstrong created this Western-themed pin-up cowgirl pastel for the Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company in the early 1950s. The adorable Americana image was published as a calendar with the titles Come And Get It!, and Soups On! This original artwork has tremendous electric cobalt blue coloring as the artist captured the last fleeting minutes of light, imagining a dreamy, well-realized, wide open spaces magic hour. The smiling radiant cowgirl was modeled by Jewel Flowers, the artist’s muse and mentor and closest friend. Pastel is in a pristine state of original conservation and handsomely framed under glass with a liner.
