The Three Muses Challenge - FAMOUS

This week at the Muses the theme is FAMOUS.  I found this wonderful photo of Charlie Chaplin and dog on Google.  I have coloured the original black and white picture and grunged it up a tad.  The background is by me (another dictionary page also grunged up) and the movie elements are from a kit by Kubivet (long since extinct as a designer).

    Charlie looks always both sad and some way humoristic. You've given him a gorgeous surrounding for him and the lovely dog.

    They say people grow to look like their pets, and this wonderful vintage photo proves the point. Charlie and the dog have exactly the same look on their faces! Wonderful example for the challenge, Marie.

    This has to be the best Mr C I've ever seen! Your digital painting, the vintage text background and your composition are wonderful, Marie.

    So wonderfully made Marie, Charlie Chaplin is such a great famous person and I think we are many who love to see these old movies, your background is really perfect for the image.
