Santa Fe Railroad Tracks Watercolor Original Santa Fe Railroad Train Order Form
Railroad landscape by notable SF Bay Area muralist T. Scott Sayre (American, b. 1954). Completed on a Santa Fe Railroad Train Order Form (933-A Standard), this piece depicts a section of train tracks, receding in the distance. This piece was likely completed while Sayre was still working as a conductor, but beginning his career as an artist and muralist, as the form has been filled out.
Signed and dated "T. Scott Sayre 1983" in the lower right corner.
Presented in a wood frame with a green mat.
There are four railroad tie date marker nails on frame (#s 25, 26, 27, & 28) - likely gathered by Sayre while working for the railroad.
Image size: 10.5"H x 13.5"W
Frame size: 17"H x 20.75"W
T. Scott Sayre (American, b. 1954) is an artist, muralist, and sculptor from Clayton, California who lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sayre’s art career didn’t initially follow the most logical path – he was a railroad conductor for fourteen years and never received any formal art school training. But for four years he worked as an apprentice under established muralist William Radley in San Francisco and found time to sit in on art history classes. These proved to be the most formative influence early on because they introduced him to what would be the central theme of his career:
“Through those art history classes I was exposed most importantly to the American artists of the 1930s and the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration) artists who were tracing the background of American workers and the plight of the people. I thought if I could follow that tradition, I would be accepted as an artist.”
He has done work for Labor unions for many years, including the carpenters’ union in Seattle Washington, which houses a depiction of the history of labor. Other works include an historical mural created for The City of Cupertino in the foyer of the city hall and the Life of Jack London, at the Jack London Square in Oakland. His work can be seen from Japan to Washington DC.
The Plumbers Union has an original mural in their office in Sacramento. In 2003 Scott received the Master Muralist award from Precita Eyes.

- "Old Adobe Village, New Mexico" Alice Schille, Taos Pueblo, Female ImpressionistBy Alice SchilleLocated in New York, NYAlice Schille Old Adobe Village, New Mexico Signed lower right Watercolor on paper 5 x 6 inches Provenance: Estate of the artist Keny and Johnson Gallery, Columbus, Ohio Santa Fe East Galleries, Santa Fe, New Mexico Private Collection, California A painter in watercolor and oil, Alice Schille was a prolific artist using modernist styles of Post-Impressionism, Pointillism and Fauvism. Her subjects included portraits of women and children, landscapes with and without figures, a series of scenes of New York City. New Mexico, and Gloucester, Massachusetts. Her paintings also reflected her widespread international travels in Europe, North Africa, Russia, the Middle East, Mexico, and Guatemala. Although personally very shy, Schille possessed unusual courage and strength of will, which was reflected in both her independent lifestyle and in her work, as she continually worked to master new modes of painting throughout her career. A German critic once referred to Schille as "this daredevil disciple of art who is interested in anything and afraid of nothing." Alice Schille was born in Columbus, Ohio to a family supported by her father's success in manufacturing. She was raised in Columbus, and by the time she was age six, she determined to be an artist. She graduated at the top of her class from Central High School in 1887, studied from 1891 to 1893 at the Columbus Art School, and returned there as a teacher from 1902 to 1948. Going to New York City as a young woman, she enrolled in the Art Students League from 1897 to 1899 and then the New York School of Art with William Merritt Chase and Kenyon Cox. (Some years later, she attended Chase's Shinnecock Summer School on Long Island). From 1903 to 1904, Alice Schille was in Paris at the Academie Colarosi, and also studied privately with Raphael Collin, Rene Prinet, Gustave Courtois and Chase, who was then in Europe. In 1904, five of her paintings were accepted for exhibition at Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts, and from that time on her work was included regularly in important American annual exhibitions including the Pennsylvania Academy, the Corcoran Gallery, American Watercolor Society, Boston Art Club, and the 1987 inaugural exhibition of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC. Between 1905 and 1914, Alice Schille painted in Europe, and during the summers of 1916 to 1918, worked in New York and Gloucester. In 1919, she was in New Mexico. On this trip, her first to the Southwest, she spent a summer in Taos and Santa Fe and painted scenes including the Taos Pueblo, Canyon Road and local Hispanic and Indian figures. Reportedly the Ranchos de Taos Church was one of her favorite subjects. Many of these New Mexico paintings were hung at annual exhibitions of the Philadelphia Water Color Club. Between 1920 and 1940, she traveled frequently in the summers, returning to New Mexico and going to Central America and Africa. In 1922, she began her first series of North-African watercolors...Category
