Artist R. W. Goetting is a third generation Californian who has lived all of
his life in the beautiful central part of the state.  Largely self-taught
over 35 years of painting and study, he has compiled a substantial reference
library consisting of a wide-range of periods and styles of artists.  The
painting of J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh
have influenced his approach to his work.  He has studied the work of these
masters and others in the galleries and museums of London, Paris and Madrid.
His depiction of nature and light by using layers of color and texture in a
free and expressive manner are characteristic of his style.  In many of his
landscapes and seascapes, Bob likes to take advantage of the low angle
direction all light of sunrises and sunsets.  "Early morning and late
afternoon lighting seems to reveal the hidden character of an oak tree or a
cliff along the sea.  Textures, highlights and shadows take on a quality
that is extraordinary and very fleeting.  It's an exciting challenge to try
to translate this into paint on canvas."
