Actually seeing the full sized 12" record sleeve is rather more impressive and the painting is IMHO one of the better ones of Gordon. the artist has signed it "Maffia 1975". I bought my copy of the identical artwork UK Sunset Label issue entitled "Early Morning Rain" in the UK in 1976
I have googled for "maffia artist" and found nothing useful or applicable
this painting is i submit far imginative and sattrctive than that other frequently seen painting of gord in what was referred to in another topic as "the ice-cream suit"
Or the week impression on the "Beautiful" Tribute CD
Amazingly this picture is included on an Australian folk review page at:-
http://www.folkaustralia.com/REVIEWS...lightfoot.html
As for who Maffia is/was, that is yet another question to try to quiz Gord on the next time I am priveleged to meet him after a concert
