Truckee, California Winter Street Scene “Our Town” (1983) | Limited Edition Print by Audrey Dygert
Viridian Eclection
The Artwork
A winter streetscape of downtown Truckee, California, titled Our Town. The composition looks along Commercial Row in midwinter, toward the yellow and brick hotel fronts at the end of the street, with snow banked along the walks, parked cars, pedestrians, and a horse drawn sleigh in the foreground beside a child in the road. The pairing of old cars and a sleigh sets up a quiet conversation between the town's past and its present.
The architecture is drawn with clarity, while the snow and sky are handled loosely in the California watercolour manner. It is a limited edition colour print after Audrey Dygert's original painting, signed in the image A. DYGERT with her vermilion seal and lettered Our Town, Truckee with the year. It is matted wide with a blue inner liner and framed in solid wood with a warm brown finish.
History & Provenance
Audrey Dygert (1922 to 2010) trained for four years with the California watercolourist Jade Fon and attended his Asilomar workshops; the seal beside her name comes from that Chinese brush tradition. After years of exhibiting in the East Bay and on the Texas Gulf Coast, she and her husband ran ArtTruckee, a gallery at 10054 Commercial Row, on the street this picture shows. ArtTruckee sold her limited editions to local collectors and visitors through the 1980s.
Her full story, with every newspaper source, is on the Audrey Dygert artist page.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
This is place based art handled with restraint. It resonates with anyone connected to Truckee, Tahoe or the Sierra, but its palette and pacing make it easy to live with for anyone who loves winter light, old buildings and quiet streets. It works especially well in mountain homes and cabins, ski houses, studies and hallways, and in rooms that favour warm wood and natural materials.
