Kitchen Art or What Some, Back Then, would have Derided as "Kitschen" Art.

 
 
    Back in 1965, my sister Angie's first pet was a toy poodle. As a result mom always had this Margaret D. H. Keane print hanging in the kitchen to remind her of both.
 
     Keane's recent passing had me curious to see if I could find an online posting of the particular image I thought I remembered. When I did, I was surprised to discover I had long forgotten the poodle so prominent in the painting* after, that is of course, the trademark eyes.
 
     How selective our memories can be
