Rolf Armstrong created this pastel titled "Come On In" for the Brown and Bigelow Calendar Company in 1941. The model is Jewel Flowers, Armstrong's favorite subject and close friend. Originally, this pastel included the full body of the model, sitting in a pool with a Scottish Terrier. At some point, this illustration (like several other examples by Armstrong that have recently surfaced), was cut down to appear as a portrait. This was possibly altered by the artist himself, as Armstrong would rework and alter his pieces in the cases he retained physical possession of the originals, in order to reuse them for a second commission.

The work is attributed to Edward Valigursky who worked for Saga during the period.
