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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonald Gotz is an artist from Framingham, MA. \u003cbr\u003eBFA in painting and illustration at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.\u003cbr\u003eAlso studied at The Museum School of Art (Boston) and School of Practical Art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 lb \u003cbr\u003eSKU 5243\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Donald Gotz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060188708982,"sku":"5243","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/6547\/8518\/files\/donald-gotz-long-beach-pine-tree-acrylic-3d-mixed-media-21x17-signed-5243-1224894161.jpg?v=1772749030","url":"https:\/\/templetonantiques.com\/products\/donald-gotz-long-beach-pine-tree-acrylic-3d-mixed-media-21x17-signed-2","provider":"Templeton Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
