I chose to copy his Marylin Portrait because I love the Pop Art style and I love the colours that he used in the particular segment that I have chosen. lalalalalala lalalaalalal alalalal alalalalalal alalalalalalal alala lalalala lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala- lalalalalalalalaalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal- alalalalalalalalal ala la lal alal alala lala la lal ala la la lal a lalalalala la la la lal alala la la la lal al al al ala la la la la laa la la la la la la lal ala la la la lalal ala lala lalala lal alalal alal ala lalala lal al alal alala lala lala lala lalala la lal al
