A painted door

 In Chloride, Sharon shared her paintings she had from Tony Mafia. She loves horses and thus when Tony did the painting on her door he portrayed her on a galloping horse in the left top corner. In the full length portrait she is holding two dolls.
Tony wrote: How beautiful she rides and signed it. The painting was done in 1990.

Hi!! My name is Ciro Marino and I live in Charlotte, NC and I happen to own a piece, a very large piece of Mafia art. It's about 5'6' by 9'3'. It was painted In Hollywood, for my fathers restaurant (Martoni's)around 1960 or so. I'm interested in selling it. Not sure if that's something you would know about, but I'm just throwing it out there. I look forward to hearing from you soon!! thank you!!

I had one "material" possession in this world that valued as priceless. My grandmother left me a Hollywood era 36" x 50" piece that I named Faces. There were well over 50 faces with complex depth. A true mind wandering artwork.

This was a gifted man, I am glad to find this tribute to him.

Dear Robert, would you send a photograph of your piece. it sounds absolutely stunning... I'll post it and if you have more information, for instance how your grandma got the painting, that would be most welcome. Did she know Tony?
