A native of Western Pennsylvania, Vitale is a retired art teacher and holds a bachelors and masters degree in art education from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. His watercolors have hung in galleries in both Western Pennsylvania and Delaware. He is also the recipient of more than 65 awards. Nautical scenes as well as landscapes, including studies of the Amish, are favorite topics for Vitale's watercolors.
In these paintings, Richard uses the white of the paper to his advantage. While some artists have trouble trying to render water and the reflections it causes, Vitale shows expertise. His work gives off a sense of realism combined with a hint of illustration. The nautical subject in these works, as mentioned above, is a very common theme in his watercolors, which he reproduces with ease.
