The Godfather frame on the original painting is inspired by the frescoed frames created by 18th century Italian painter Giambattist Tiepolo. Starting with an ornate solid wood frame, I embellished with cupids and other relevant icons from The Godfather movie to create a frame that adds a whole new dimension to the painting. I originally planned give the frame a gold and plastered feel, but decided instead on the rich brown and red tones of the painting itself. We are considering casting the frame, but as yet are undecided.
