Dennis Bellone

I just heard from a mutual friend that Dennis Bellone passed away last April. I haven’t been in touch with him in a long time, I think our last contacts were through the blog http://www.one-year-on-earth.com. I didn’t even know he signed up to Facebook, but he revamped his site, dennisbellone.com . I am very saddened by his death, he was a very kind person, extremely witty and funny, and a truly great painter. I’m always doubly saddened when a painter passes away, thinking of all the paintings that will no longer be painted. 
Rest in peace, Dennis, you and all my painter friends who preceded you.
