Layout with the Big Eyes



There was a very popular artist in the sixties who was known for the big eyes of all the subjects (mostly women) that she painted. Her name was Margaret Keane, and there is a movie forthcoming about her life. I often think about those paintings when I look at my granddaughter and her amazing, beautiful eyes.

When I saw this photo, I was compelled to find some Keane paintings, and I've included some copies in this layout.

I typed the journaling on the top of the L/O and colored its edges with chalk. I colored the tiny clear stamps of a bird and flowers with gel pens. I painted the large chipboard flower with acrylic paint and topped it with Stickles.
