About the Item
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.
