Featured Information on California artist Vincent Pogacar would be much appreciated.

Hello all,
I purchased both of these small 5" x 7". not including frames.
What I have learned so far,
Vincent Pogacar 1929-1997.
Came to California from New York in the 1970s to paint and teach.
Exhibited 70s and 80s California and Nevada
Both of these are dated 1979.
I paid $15.00 USD for the pair.

 

I'm also trying to confirm the identity of the Lighthouse. I think it's either Pigeon point, or Point Arena. Any information appreciated
Thanks
Mikey

 

There's not much information on this artist on the internet. Given that and the look of his work, I suspect they were painted for commercial purposes. The painting doesn't appear to depict either of those lighthouses. I think it's a fantasy piece.

This is a great resource. A free California newspaper archive. There are a few mentions of the artist here. All from 1976. He appears to have been living in Roseville.

Your example above is very dramatic, isn't it?

Yes Dramatic is the perfect word for that one.
Thanks for the link.
