This is taken from an ebay listing for another painting:

“ This original 24x18 oil painting on Black Velvet was painted by Filippino artist Raul Gotta. In researching I matched his signature with one of his paintings on WorthPoint. Information on WorthPoint mentions Gotta was a protege of Felix Pinto Gonzalez and later married the daughter of Gonzalez. Raul was an excellent black velvet painter but is not well known today. In my research I have only come across approximately 5 of his paintings, all of which were OOAK pieces. You will not be disappointed in the artwork from this counterculture movement era. “
