Good Bye Dear Ruffo.... R.I.P.

Today I had to do one of the hardest things in my life. I took my 16 years old German Bracco named Ruffo to the vet this afternoon, hopping they would give me a pill or something that would make him feel better. Instead the reassurance of what deep inside me I knew all along became a reality. Ruffo was in bad shape and although his adorable spirit of big puppy was there cheering me up and barking for goldfish, his body and his heart were not working on his behalf. He looked at me many times walking towards the door like saying "common mommy! let's go for a walk" but this was his last ride ever.


Ruffo, my gorgeous german bracco born in Venezuela, South America 16 years ago, who came with us in an airplane to the US, an always big puppy who would make us laugh with his cute face and incredible character died today in my arms, surrounded by love, hugs and kisses from the first person who saw him come to this world the night of July 15, 1992.


He was an incredible dog, full of energy and disposition and with and incredible personality. My inspiration for painting and my companion loyal for so long.


I will miss you with all my heart my big puppy. I will miss you so much...

July 15, 1992 - July 25, 2008

Monster of the Past - Abstract Modern & Contemporary Art Painting

Acrylic Mixed Media on Canvas
36" high x 12" wide
Buy Now
Limited Edition Prints Available

This is a brand new abstract painting from the Surreal Dreams Series and it's being offered at auction on my private auction site at dealers price. Click the link above to bid on this beauty. Also giclée prints are available from this and many other paintings directly from my store www.manuelavalenti.com/store.

It's being a while since I haven't painted anything on this series. The other series of abstracts the "Splash Series" became so popular and is selling so great as prints and originals after the New York ArtExpo that I completely neglected this one. Well time to revamp my old abstract series, right?

On another note, I'll be in Miami, for the Design District show during the month of July, with a completely new abstract series of works which I'll unveil very soon. This new series of abstract paintings is called "In Between Worlds" and is as powerful and elegant as the other series of abstracts but in darker colors opposite to the splash series. The first 4 paintings were entered on the Michigan Governor's Home Juried Exhibition, and if selected the paintings will decorate the home of the Governor Jennifer Granholm for a whole year, so cross your fingers! More on this coming soon.
