Painting is called "Step Right Back"

One day left on bidding if you got the money! I wish one of my paintings would sell for that!

Does Mariah have big hips?   Intresting backstory.

I looked up this painting in John's Art book called "Paintings and Reflections" It did not say it was Mariah, all it says that this painting and another was a wedding present for business associates of John's and that both wives hated the painting and they ended up in a warehouse in NYC.
The other painting was called "Trophy Wife" and the wife's face was covered because she wouldn't send a pic for him to paint.

As soon as I read Paintings and Reflections I just knew this was Tommy Mottola and Mariah Carey.
