For Sale on Ebay: Inskip from 1961

I noticed a Ruth Dicker painting for sale on Ebay recently and coincidentally, one of my readers wrote in to tell me about it, as well.  (Thanks!)  It appears that the painting is no longer available, but I was able to get some pictures of it.

Update:  It is available on ebay again.

Here is Inskip from 1961.

Stray From the Brood

A fan wrote in about a painting, Stray From the Brood.

It's going up for auction this weekend:

More Bank of Sonoma County Photos

I found a couple more interesting photos that weren't tagged with Ruth Dicker's name, but are interesting nonetheless.  The first is a picture of people at the opening with a circular Ruth Dicker painting on the wall and the second is the larger mural in the context of the bank.  I believe that there were two or three of these round pieces at the branch.  I also believe that all of these pieces, including the larger mural, went up for auction in 2005 and I don't know there whereabouts today.

Archival Photos of Bank of Sonoma County Opening

I was doing some research and came across an interesting website called worldcat that links to different library systems.  It took me to a couple of archival photos of Ruth Dicker.  Eventually, it led me to a number of great photos taken by Don Meacham at the Sonoma County Library.  The notes read, "Lawrence Simons, building architects, Ruth Dicker, landscape painter, John P. Long president of Bank of Sonoma County, bank located at corner of First and D. Streets."  I have never seen any of these photos before, but I have seen this painting.  The dates seem to disagree on 1967 or 1973.

Nut Tree Harvest Dinner

I just came across this post, for the Nut Tree Harvest Dinner, this Saturday November 10th.

What caught my eye is that this picture appears to have at least three Ruth Dicker paintings in it.  Is this an old picture of the Nut Tree cafe?  If so, are there more?  Is it a recent picture?

Update: A reader commented that the picture likely came from the 2010 dinner and sent a link to the Vacaville Museum Facebook page.  Only the painting on the left is a Ruth Dicker painting.  I think it is Sonngarten from 1992.  The other two looked like poppies in the background, but aren't.

Here's another photo from a fan.  I might have a slide of this somewhere.  I'll update the posting if I can fine the name and year.
