Gil Reid - Railroad Artist

What Time Is It?

Everybody goes by the clock,
because time is important.
People get together and have a good time.
And - there is a time to say
"See you later," for it is not
"Good-bye," it's just a small interval
when we can all say "Hello" again.
Keep your faith, and I
feel privileged to know you!
I'm on that train now!

Gil Reid was an fabulous railroad watercolor artist. A huge steam locomotive fan, he had a tremendous talent for depicting these huge locomotives in incredibly fine detail, often barreling down the tracks. Other noted railroad artists, Russ Porter and Ted Rose (1940-2002), were among his friends and Ted Rose even considered Gil his metor and inspiration. Gil joined his friends on January 2, 2007.
