North to the Golden Gate. View across the city of San Francico California, USF, with the spires of Saint Ignatius Church on the campus of the University of San Francisco to the mountains across the bay in a painting by American artist RD Riccoboni. Spectacular San Diego landmarks boldly painted with exciting impressionistic style in happy colors are his trademark, and the results of his career have been astounding. RD Riccoboni, Randy to his friends, is an innovative self-taught artist who began painting at age four when he got into his mothers paint-by-numbers. The artist credits encouragement by family and teachers for his drive and inspiration that has led the way to his success as a best-selling author, speaker and inspirational visionary. His paintings on canvas and paper depict travels, places of local interest including Balboa Park landmarks and every day life experiences. RD’s internationally recognized artwork represents community and a sense of place in a positive and life-affirming manner. A fan of architecture, RD is currently working on drawings and paintings of vanishing historic American buildings and landscape for his Art Traveler project. Riccoboni’s impressionistic palette is derived from the bold colors of the original rainbow flag representing sexuality, health, sunshine, nature, art, harmony and spirit.
