Dio Painting!!!

[frenchy2112]

Hi Everyone.
I was wondering if anyone had information on the upcoming Dio auction in Las Vegas for charity. I had given Ronnie a painting in person backstage in Montreal on their first Heaven % Hell tour and I was hoping I could buy it back through an auction of donate directly and get "Lady Evil" back home. I know this seems like a weird request but this painting is the only one left that I have done that I have an idea where its at...I am no longer a your pup and would love to assist his charity and hang "her" back on my wall.
If anyone know anything about the whereabouts of this painting "it wa s a lady on a rock ledge on a mountain overlooking distant mountains..." I would greatly appreciate nay information.
Dio will always live....Peace

Hi, thanks for writing me. Well the more specific information would be as follows.
The show date in Montreal was March 26th 2007.
I had contacted this sites moderator to see if I could meet Ronnie on that tour date to offer him this painting. The moderator got me an email to David Sanson the tour manager. I wrote him and he contacted me on the 25th of March to notify me that I had 2 backstage passes to mee Ronnie and all the members. After the show we had an intimate meeting for like 45 mionutes after their showers. I met Ronnie, Tommy, Geezer and Vinnie. I offered Ronnie the painting which was basically a blond woman in a transparent white dress standing on a rock cliff kinda floating, in the background their are many mointins mostly a tint of purple and snowy...The painting is signed bottom right Dan A and i think I wrote my email on the back of it which at that time was woodcarver153@hotmail.com but im not sure if I actually did or not 100%
He was in tears, hugged me for a good minute and really seemed quite surprised at the jesture. I had called it lady evil for him. He then told me in a conversation that he has just had some art stolen from him home in California and that this painting would go on top of his fireplace mantle...Once the meeting was over we never had contact again...So ultimatelly Im trying to track it down to see if I can either donate to charity and receive the painting if its still in his legal possession or has it been auctioned in previous charity auctions...
I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack but Id give top dollar to have her rest here on top of my mantle in Ronnies honour.
I thank you so much for even taking the time to write me...hopefully we can actually figure this out.
Peace
Dan
