Charles Sheldon: Vintage Illustrations
In an era of black and white motion pictures, Charles Sheldon created still, vibrantly colored paintings of beloved actresses. Just look at the Carole Lombard illustration below! Gah. I can't help but be mesmerized by Sheldon's style. It's as if the paintings are memories themselves, gently fading into the background. The soft femininity, sharp sexiness, and slight mystery… it's all just so lovely, don't you think?

Those are BEAUTIFUL! I especially like the ones done on tinted paper :) Do you know if they’re done with oil paint?
I love your style! Found a picture of you in Chictopia and followed you here. I reckon my body type is similar to yours and I wanted to see how you dress.
how very interesting and rare!
Wow – these are just gorgeous!! :) Love them!
