Original artwork description:

Large square format figurative painting of some mobsters from the 1950's at a party in Coney Island. The word PROOF in red has more than one meaning. Back in the day a professional photographer would shoot parties and stamp the word onto a sample print. Here it acts as an in joke that perhaps something nefarious is going on and this picture is potentially evidence of the crooks caught red handed.

Materials used:

oil on canvas
