"Ona"... a Modigliani follow-up

So, here is the finished piece. It is entitled "Have you met Ona, Modigliani's Great Grand-Daughter?". For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Amedeo Modigliani's beautiful paintings, I have included a couple here. As you can see, I "channelled" Modigliani's signature eye treatment for my collage. I am pleased with how it worked for this piece. The "ONA" on the stamps, I think were 'store-specific' back in the day when these "green stamps" were being used by grocery stores as a marketing gimmick. I actually have no idea whether Modigliani had any children, or grandchildren, for that matter. But as I have written about before, I think titles are an essential component of the creative process.
