| Stephen Howard Naegle American Watercolor Artist |
| During my research, I've now heard of the existance of a booklet about Stephen Naegle. This being the second time of hearing about it, it is duly noted. That is the total knowledge I have regarding it, but I will conjecture a bit. Talking this October 5, 2006 with a former student, mention comes again of this booklet. Due to the brevity of the conversation, information about it stopped as well. This person alluded to a sale of Naegle works some time after he passed away. It's a pure guess, this may be a catalog of the works for sale handed out for the purpose of informing buyers regarding the works and pricing? Really, I have no way of knowing what it contains and am waiting for the explanation as well. Thank you for your interest in the Works of Stephen Naegle, American Watercolor Artist and Instructor. Stephen became affiliated with, and was a member of the American Watercolor Society in 1978. |

| October 12, 2006 Finding Amazon.com is a great place to find out-of-print books, such as Masters of Western Art. I notice the price is going up lately since I've purchased so many of them. So I searched on just the name of Stephen Naegle. The search engine came back with a match. It showed a book titled, Stephen Naegle, Author, Stephen Naegle, Publisher Nicolaysen Art Museum (1988), English, ASIN: B00071XFGS, Amazon.com Sales Rank: None I think this is the mysterious Naegle Booklet. This is the second time viewing the information on Amazon. The first time I didn't know what to make of it. By searching the internet, it turns out to be a museum is in Stephen's hometown of Casper, Wyoming. The ladies there were friendly and took my number to let me know if they could find a book to sell me or, at the same time, find any of Stephen's art work in the museum's permanent collection. Carol said, give me a week. |

| Stephen Naegle - NAM Booklet Contains an Essay by Mary Carroll Nelson Today, October 21, 2006 an envelope full of info came from a former student. It was a downright cornucopia of Stephen Naegle works in the form of a booklet printed in 1988 by the Nicolaysen Art Museum. Finally, in my hands I see the works of Mr. Naegle up close and personal, so thoughtfully researched and written. Apparently the booklet was prepared to educate and remember this great artist. Mary Nelson had included Stephen in her book Masters of Western Art published in 1982. I'm so thankful for the foresight of many others in the preparation and production of this art booklet they called a catalog. It's very similar in purpose to this very website, to remember the artist and publish his works for the masses to see. There is a thank you page to a local business, the Provident Federal Savings in Loan for funding support in the publication of the catalog. There are twenty-two works by the artist and a portrait of Stephen by another artist. |
