Empire College in Santa Rosa

I thought Ruth Dicker had sold some paintings to Empire College, but I didn't know exactly where it was. I happened to be in the Santa Rosa today and stopped in to see if I could find any. They had one as soon as you walk in the front door and one up the stairwell from the main lobby. Here they are:

Almond Orchard, 1974

Fog in the Valley, 1983

iPhone Wallpapers

I have recently been using a lot of non-traditional Ruth Dicker paintings as my iPhone wallpapers. They look great with the bold contrasting colors and interesting scenery. Tree paintings work great as well, but I find there is something special about these. Tap an image to get to the full 320 x 480 resolution. Happy Fourth!
