After The Road

Here's a painting from someone who took some art classes from Ruth Dicker.  Her family owned a business that hosted a show at in the 1960's and this painting was a gift at the end of the show.  It is in need of a good cleaning and the owner is going to send an after shot when it does get cleaned.  I will need to look into my photos to see if I have a scanned slide for it.

Prolific

This week, with the help of a family friend, we cleaned out a storage locker of some of Ruth's paintings and sketches.  There were incomplete pieces, works from high school and college, masterpieces, and everything in between.  There were hundreds of scraps of paper with painting or invitation sketches.  Ruth was a prolific artist.  It wouldn't surprise me if she painted over a thousand pieces in her lifetime.  Many of them are documented here and many probably aren't.  I still have more photos and slides to upload and more people continue to email pictures of their paintings that they have enjoyed for many years.  As a result of clearing out the locker, more people will have a chance to enjoy some of her work and that is a great result.
