Novato School District

Here is a fun search result.  A Novato school district flyer created by someone who must have known Ruth because she is listed in there with some of the most famous painters of all time.  Snippet below:

Brown Thicket I & II

I was very excited when a lady contacted me saying that her husband had commissioned paintings from Ruth in 1968 that hung in the Crown Zellerbach Building in San Francisco.  The panels are called Brown Thicket I & II and I think are the same ones listed in my spreadsheet.  They look like they are seven feet tall and six feet wide which matches what I have in the spreadsheet, taking into account that Ruth often transposed dimensions as Y by X instead of X by Y.  These painting are available for sale and are currently located in Burlingame, CA.  Please contact Gwendolyn Mitchell at gvmitchell@aol.com if interested and copy me at ruthdickerpaintings@gmail.com. 

Here are some pictures of the painting:

I'm glad that I started this blog, I have received a couple more interesting emails here at ruthdickerpaintings@gmail.com.

After visiting Yosemite and telling the people in the art center about the Ruth Dicker painting they had, I was pleased to see it mentioned in a flyer:

The main room houses the building’s most unique feature: a tremendous wooden mural by famed California artist Ruth Dicker (1919-2004).

I also found this sparse mention of an auction that occurred back in 1991.
