Description
Jan Reynolds-Miles sent my cousin Cathy Treloggen a photo of her brother. Cathy commissioned me to paint a watercolor of the photograph as a gift for her friend Jan.
Jan wrote: This is my brother Denis Ray Reynolds 1947-2017. He started a group in 2007 on Eons and made up a town called Buncleville. People called him Buncle, the name of town was a natural. People joined and we had fun making up a fake town. We became exceptionally good friends online even though we never met one of them. But Ray wanted to, so we set up a time, date, and place. Melvern Lake, Ks was chosen for our meeting and camp out. Folks came from Canada, California, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and all over Kansas. We became an instant family of friends. We met about every 3 years and once for Thanksgiving. This photo was taken by a lady in the group, another person Photoshopped the photo to include the mirrored image. Ray did not want to get old…he loved life. This is Ray, seated, looking at an image of himself in the mirror as a younger man.
After his passing I started a FB page called Buncle Nuts. Our group still stays connected there, along with silly photos and a video of our made-up silly town and names.
Ray had a big sense of humor that attracted good people. He is missed by so many.
I was honored to create this cherished gift Jan will treasure for all the years ahead.
