Welcome, all, to the third year of the Schuyler Art Website; we have just had our first inquiry from a person who has a painting by Ted Schuyler that they are interested in selling. Needless to say, this has never been envisioned as a sales site, only informational. However, if anyone has any ideas to share about the possibilities, let us know.

Hello,

I met Ted with my late father Rev. G. Rogers Smith when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at his work and listening to him talk and before we left that day he laid out a number of paintings and asked which one I wanted. We used to visit Ghost Ranch every year in Abiqu,NM so I asked if I could have that one. It is titled "Ghost Ranch" and was painted in 1969. I have enjoyed it my whole life. I have no interet in selling it, but as I was recently robbed (they did not take any art), I am concerned about the value of things for insurance purposes. Do you have any idea what an approximate value would be?

I lived in New Mexico for many years and was given 3 etchings by Lee Clarke Schuyler. One is of a pine tree dated 1990, one is titled "dogwood and Maple" dated 1992 and the third is titled "tent rocks" and dated 1992. They all hang in my house here in Naples Florida and I love them. I was very pleased to discover this website to learn more about Lee Clarke Schuyler. Thank You Dusty Holmes

It sas great hearing from Dusty Holmes. I'm wondering who gifted him with Lee's etchings, since I can't make the connection, but what a delight!

My grandfather, Lee Hoyt Schuyler, was one of Uncle Ted's older brothers. I remember visiting him with my family and seeing the religious paintings in progress that he did for the 2nd Presbyterian Church when I was a child. My mother Ruth (90) still has the letter he wrote to her on the occasion of my birth - his beautiful writing was a work of art in itself. I remember seeing the mural on the wall in Old Town probably 50 years ago, and I'm so happy to learn that it was restored. I grew up seeing the portraits of my parents every day that were posted by my niece Juli in your New Additions. Mom recently got a lap-top and is on-line now, so I'll refer her to this site. Blessings to all my distant relatives. Nancy Peters Grimmenga

This message is to Noelle. Noelle, I am sitting at home in Los Angeles, and a thought of you came across my mind. We were classmates at Stronghurst and I also think we went to the same Presbyterian Church. I googled your name and up came this wonderful site containing all this great art. Your dad had me pose for one of art classes once. I just want to say "Hi, I remember you, and wish you well." Feel free to correspond if you wish

Hi, Dennis. You really go "way back" with us in the Schuyler family. I'm sorry to have to tell you that Noelle was killed in a fall from horseback in November of 1992. He two daughters, Christie and Diana, are still very much with us - Christie still lives in New Mexico in the Belen area, and Diana is here in Georgia and the mother of a charming daughter and a cute son, so Noelle has posthumous grandchildren. If you want more information, though, I'll need an address. The blog format doesn't lend itself to long conversations.

Just came upon the Ted site - great to read about family and to see Schuyler art. We have been gifted several (9 by Ted and 1 by Lee) watercolors that grace the walls of our home. included is a portrait of Gene Patton, painted by Ted on the roof of the YMCA in ABQ. Martha and Trudy were friends while living in Gallup in the 1950's, and remained so after Schuylers moved to ABQ.

Hi, Martha and Paul, Great to hear from you, and glad you found the website. Actually, Martha, our friendship predates the 50's; we'd moved back to ABQ at the end of WWII, though I remember at least one trip on the train back to Gallup to visit with you. If you'd like to have any of your Schuyler paintings included on the website, and can get a good digital photo, send it to me at [email protected], with pertinent info such as you see on the other posts, and I'll be delighted to include it.

I have two watercolors by Ted Shuyler i wanted to know how much they are worth if someone can tell me I would send a picture of each.

Hi, Kamilla. This guestbook isn't really working well. It is supposed to give me your e-mail, and so I can communicate directly, but that has stopped happening. As mentioned in the note above, my e-mail address is [email protected]. In any event, I can only give you an estimate of possible value of Schuyler watercolors based on prices of similar works in galleries. Generally the issue will be whether or not someone wants to acquire a specific work by a particular artist. I'd be glad to see the paintings you mention, and the digital photos can be sent to the e-mail address I just posted.

Sorry, Kamilla - the e-mail address still did not come through. If you'll e-mail me direct at [email protected], I can respond.

Many years ago when you were attending HU, your dad said that he was unable to pay your tuition. As he said that was the life of an artist. My mother, Betty Cline, paid your tuition and your father told her when she came to Albuquerque, he would let her pick out a painting. At least she thought he said one. He gave her three! I have two and my sister has one. I dearly love them especially the one of the fruit trees in pink bloom.

Hi, Sally - it's great hearing from you. I'm not surprised at Ted's generosity. I'm feeling the same way now; I'd much rather have paintings/sketches being enjoyed than sitting in a portfolio. That's why I do the "pet portraits". I know I had a scholarship and a job to try to "make it" at NMHU, and later worked when I moved back to Albuquerque to complete my college...but even though it was much less expensive then, I'm sure you mom's contribution really helped. Thanks from me!

Sally, I think I may have finally "put it all together". Was your mother the Chemistry Department secretary? In which case, what she provided for me was the fees to pledge to Delta Zeta Sorority. What confused me was that I knew I had a scholarship the one year I attended HU, and was working to cover room and board, but I would not have been able to afford the Sorority without that help.
