"For depicting elemental strength in wave action no collection yet seen at the Pratt Institute Art Gallery has ever approached that of William Ritschel. And yet, the eleven coast marines in the assemblage of nineteen canvases on view are in no wise literal transcripts of nature; they are filled with the poetic and sympathetic personality inherent in the artist. They might be termed at first blush as “strong,” so convincing are they, but they are far more than strong; they grip the imagination while gratifying a natural craving for truth. |

Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery is not at present a "brick and mortar" storefront gallery. We've moved out and now exist as an online only gallery, although arrangements can be made to view specific artworks. Please keep in touch with us by phone, email, our website, and our newsletters to keep up on where Linda's artist studio lands, and what new ways we may find to show and celebrate historic California art beyond the website itself. |
