Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me identify the artist who painted this and maybe the name of the painting?
I have had no luck combing the web.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks in advance!

If there is a signature it could be hidden behind the frame.

Thanks! When inspecting the back this is all I found.
I guess I may have to remove it from the frame...
I really appreciate your help!

Definitely influenced by the Margaret Keane "Big Eyes" style.

After taking out of its frame it looks like this was painted on canvas and then glued to piece of wood..

To my eye, it looks like the work of a hobbyist painter, and I think identifying the painter will be impossible.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of original paintings are produced -- by trained artists, amateurs, students, and hobbyists. In few cases does identifying the painter add value to the work.
If you like this painting, enjoy it. If you want to sell it, sell it own its own merits, emphasizing whatever charms you saw in it that attracted you to it in the first place.
