RONNY'S PAINTING
One of my latest paintings, called “Ronny’s Painting” This is a “fictional” painting in that it is from one of my stories, “Kenny’s Little Creature” in which the character, Ronny, painted this in the year 1973, and so I signed the painting with Ronny’s name. Click on this painting to read, or hear the dramatized version of this story.
