Ted Rose, a watercolor artist known for his evocative works of
railroads, died last Friday, July 26, 2002, after battling cancer for
more than a year, at the age of 61.

In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service asked Rose for five original designs
for its "All Aboard" stamp series. Two years ago, Indiana University
Press published his book, "In the Traces: The Railroad Paintings of Ted
Rose," a compilation of 60 of his works, including many showing Santa
Fe's railroads.

Rose attended the University of Illinois and graduated in 1962 with a
bachelor's degree in painting. After two years in the Army during the
Vietnam War, he moved to Santa Fe in 1966 and worked as a graphic
designer for the city, creating maps and police-car decals for 15 years.
He became a full-time artist in the mid-1980s. Rose was a National
Watercolor Society member and a signature member of the American
Watercolor Society.
