A few years ago, I emailed back and forth with a Ruth Dicker fan in Sweden.  One of his paintings recently came up for sale on ebay and now the other one is listed.  Check them out!

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.

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.
