Terry Redlin - Building the Community

Terry Redlin - Building the Community

      
As the whirling blade's sharp sound cuts through the forest night, Terry Redlin invites us to revisit an earlier era in America's past. Deep in the woods felled trees are gathered and slowly hauled to the saw mill. An old steam tractor rattles and groans, puffing out its power. The raw cut lumber piles higher and higher in the open shed. It will be stored here to cure for awhile, then delivered to a waiting lumber yards in nearby towns. "This painting was a challenge," the artist comments, "becuase I needed to combine several sources of light. Hopefully the eye moves easily from one area of bustling activity to another."

As in many of Terry Redlin's paintings the careful observer will be rewarded with colorful details remembered from his boyhood. Note the Redlin Lumber Company wagon, a business then owned by a relative. Riding shotgun for the cigar-chomping driver is a boy (Terry?) with his trusty BB gun. And nailed to a main shed post is probably one of our contry's first "No Smoking" signs. In this nostalgic scene the artist portrays one episode in both the building of a nation, and also the more subtle construction of small town pride and accomplishment.
