The cormorant

On an old found canvas, Tony painted this happy bird with a large nest egg. It was 1992. It was the silent bird we had, next to the many canaries. See the dancing, the spheres of the sky, the sand and dry grass. See the free brush strokes and know that Tony's freedom sometimes was hard won, a freedom as reckless as the joy of life of this bird.

Hi Tumbleweed - I am in possession of three Tony Mafia pics from my parents who owned the Whisky-A-Go-Go in the 60's. How can I find out about these paintings? Thanks.

If you give me your e-mail address on a comment, I'll reply... I am excited about this.
