Artist Bio: Ronnie Paff was born in 1953, in Georgia, and became an Arkansan in 1964. He graduated from Pine Bluff High School in 1971. At the age of 12, Ronnie began dedicating himself to developing his skill and talent at drawing and painting. He is primarily self taught with little formal education. Ronnie's styles range from the abstract to realism, whatever his inspiration and mood calls for. Currently he lives in North Little Rock, working on increasing his art inventory to add to his website and to prepare for art fairs and gallery presentations.

Artist Interpretation: "I have been a sign painter, mural painter, and a house painter. All of these have given me very interesting surfaces on which to manipulate a design. Having never painted an Adirondack chair or entered a competition, this provided an opportunity to do both.

"The Butterfly and Mums design was chosen because of the photograph I took of a very fleeting moment. A Monarch butterfly was feeding on mums at my doorstep during a sunny late October day. It was there about five minutes and flew away. Within minutes after the butterfly left, a cold rain began and everything lost its color and became dreary."
