Keane was famous for the paintings portraying mostly of young people with soulful 'Big Eyes'. It was later shown in some 'paint-offs' that he was not the artistic talent, but that his second wife, Margaret was the painter of the 'Big-Eye' portraits. She would later adapt the style from children to various animals and adults. BB11a
