I painted this for Hustler Magazine Christmas issue. I wanted to depict a classic pin-up and I was inspired by Gil Elvgren who did paintings of women with their skirts caught up (similar to that old Coppertone ad where the little girl's undies is tugged at by the little dog. I couldn't resist having an elf with a great view watching Mrs. Claus.
Not only does your style of painting inspire memories of Mr. Elvgren, but the subject and pose are every bit as whimsical and funny as his illustrations were. Excellent work indeed!
