Virginia who is well known for his landscape
paintings. Till date, he has painted about 350

business proposition by a gentleman who offered
to create a website that would sell his
paintings. According to Ron, this is one of the
most smartest decisions he made because it
allowed him to be recognized for his paintings.
He would paint landscapes, and his business
partner would sell them. They agree to split the
earnings 50-50. Slowly but surely, his popularity
grew, and a time came when he was being asked by
people to paint for them.

Maysel, and is happily married with two children.
His wife Angela is a Spanish national, and

pleasant change and quickly accustomed to her
life. Ron Raevsky manages the family estate
which he has since grown. He was able to buy a
neighboring plot of land and has turned into a
horse ranch where he gives horse riding lessons.

planting pumpkins, and they open their estate to
pumpkin pickers during Halloween. Ronald Raevsky
continues to paint, and spends time creating
visual masterpieces. He has a large following of
people in and around his home town and he is
