He grew up in Northern California, moving around between Corning, Willows, and Roseville, while his father struggled to make a living in the aftermath of the Great Depression. I am deeply saddened. This echoes My paintings are about light, about the way things look in their environment and especially about how things look painted. Peace to the family and to all that knew him. I was fortunate to have contacted him through his website several years ago and let him know how much I appreciated having him for a teacher. My deepest sympathy to Shana and the family. Ralph Goings was a gentle force of good during my high school years, and had been much on my mind in recent months: I sent him a greeting through his (stunning, elegant) website, but too late, it seems. Charlie was born circa 1886, in Georgia, USA.

Although I never met him, he became a bright, inspiring influence in my life. Ralph held a teaching position in Crescent City, California and another position as the head of the Art department at La Sierra High School in the Sacramento area. For the working-class at that time, it was extremely difficult to find work; often, temporary or "odd" jobs comprised the only available opportunities for earning even scant wages at the time.As a favorite pastime, the Goings family - mother, father, Ralph, and his younger brother, would pile into their car and take long drives. Late in his life he developed an affinity for the San Francisco Giants and became an avid follower, watching every televised game that he could. All of us at the Butler Institute of American Art offer our heartfelt sympathy to his family.I met Ralph through my former husband who had built stretchers for him in Charlottesville, NY.
After high school, Ralph joined the army and was stationed at Fort Ord near Monterey, just after the conclusion of World War II.
Also, the objects themselves, and how their form is defined by their surface and the light...and that ultimately creates the illusion of the three-dimensional object even though it is on a flat surface. Ralph was a truly great artist and an even greater man. Mattie was born on January 25 1893, in Worth, GA, United States. In 2006 they sold their farm house in New York state after more than 30 years and made their permanent residence in Santa Cruz. Goings enrolled in Hartnell College in Salinas, CA for just two semesters before pursuing an art degree more intently at the California College of Arts in Oakland, CA.After graduating from art school, Goings accepted a job as a high school teacher, teaching both art and music. The son of Ralph and Lucille Goings, Ralph Jr. was born in Corning, California in 1928. As young artists designing concert posters, etc. From an early age, Goings has memories of his father being "a classic victim of the Great Depression." Form, color and space are at the whim of reality, their discovery and organization is the assignment of the realist painter.In 1963 I wanted to start painting again but I decided I wasn't going to do abstract pictures. Not unlike a beloved musician, he remains a treasured thread in the fabric of my life. Thanks for sharing him with me. This tragic event caused his parents much grief and was a turning point, which prompted the family to relocate to a neighboring town for a fresh start.Throughout his formative years, Goings was involved in a number of extra-curricular activities including learning to play several instruments. Dona SymanShanna and family, I was fortunate enough to teach with Ralph at La Sierra HS.

I was fortunate enough to see two of his pieces at the Louis Meisel Gallery in New York. Upstate New York, with it's beautiful rolling hills and tranquil farmlands seemed like the logical choice. by John A. Donna Phillips Shellooe
