Message:: [QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 34310, member: 305"]My wife and I use to go in there quite alot, atleast twice a week. Over a year period or so, I was noticing the owner's shop was getting fuller but nothing was moving. He still has the same prints, paintings, etc that he had 3 yrs ago. Like Brad said in another thread, I also live in art rich, well educated area. Collectors here know what to look for. I'm about to extend my search area further out into less populated areas. I know that there's a thread about "Big Eyes" I would like to post my story here. My wife and I were making our way along a stretch, looking for a particular store that I had seen some vintage baseball cards. While trying to find this store, we popped into a store and browsed around. Right off the bat, I seen this painting with a girl with big eyes, I loved it. I didn't know about Keane paintings at that time. Fast forward to present time, I remembered the name on the painting as Keane. After reading the "Big Eyes" thread I was floored that I was possibly holding in my hand at that store, an original Keane painting. The possibility of it being an original, this was about a year ago, is probably low. I'm going back this weekend to see if they still have it. If not original, it will be a good time to be out with my wife and daughters.[/QUOTE]
