Original Mixed Media Donald Gotz Art STAND OF BIRCH Whimsical OOAK


 

Playful piece of art by Donald Gotz, a listed local artist known for his 

mixed media, marine and naturalist art.  

This New England fall landscape features a small stand of birch trees 

in an autumn field.

It's wonderful.

Not framed.

From the artist's estate.


Artist statement
"As an artist I look at what others consider mundane or 

uninviting - from the bow of a boat to the branch of a tree, from a

 few discarded objects to the play of shadows on rocks, to the reflections 

of a boat's hull against the ever moving water - and see an opportunity 

for a painting.

Nature and man's interactions with nature are the main theme of my work.
Be it the remains of old weathered wooden piers, driftwood, old man-made 

objects that have found their way into the environment, or just 

natural objects - trees, rocks, water. The work itself may represent 

man's intrusion into nature or natures own forces at work. 

The search for subject matter is never far away. It is as near 

as a lake, the seashore, the local walking trail, or the back yard. 

Each season brings new opportunities for new paintings.

My media of choice is acrylic, because it allows me to choose to 

work as in oil paint or a looser watercolor style or something in-between, all in 

one media." Donald Gotz.

Donald Gotz is an artist from Framingham, MA.
BFA in painting and illustration at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Also studied at The Museum School of Art (Boston) and School of Practical Art.

SOLD! Antique Miniature Cold Painted Mother Cat at Sewing Machine with Kitten Metal Figurine






Absolutely the cutest little cold painted metal figurine I have found in years! While mommy cat sees at the Singer sewing machine , Her kitten plays at her feet. I believe the figurine is made out of pot or spelt or metal which holds details beautifully (look at the details on the sewing machine itself ) but is a rather delicate metal. In very very good vintage condition, a tiny bit of paint loss here and there. Still amazing especially when you consider it to approximately 100 years old. 

$155
