Joey

Pet Therapy Dog

2002, acrylic on canvas, 36" x 48"

In an e-mail to Buff, upon seeing the final painting:
"As I scrolled down your e-mail and the pictures of Joey emerged, I actually broke out into a sweat, and when I focused on the tight headshot picture, I just couldn't believe how real ... almost breathing ... this painting looked! Ron definitely has captured Joey, as Joey wears his heart in his expression with his beautiful eyes! I found myself with a grin from ear to ear. I am truly blessed to have a pet that emits this love, and you are very blessed with Ron who has the ability to see this quality and put it on peper!"

Joey made over 8 visits to Ground Zero.
