Back in the 1960's, there was a painter, who became famous, for painting portraits with very large eyes. The painter took the credit, but really it was some one else.

That someone finally had had enough of being the shadow behind, unknown, and unseen. She decided one day, to claim credit, he of course denied it. He had too much invested with being the artist. So she offered a contest, in Golden Gate Park,.

She showed up, painted a portrait, and he never did. Their divorce followed soon after.
