Godfather 1

This was a painting inspired by original Godfather film, which starred Marlon Brando as the head of a Mafia family in the late 1940s in New York. It was done at the same time as another painting in the featured Portfolio: The Black Hand.

Both are images of antiheroes, using vivid, contrasting colors. The Black Heart is also a related work, and a companion piece to The Black Hand. Both paintings received First Place awards in juried competitions.
