Terry Redlin

If you'd asked me about him 3 days ago, I'd have replied, 'Never heard of him.'  I had heard of him, though, had seen several of his works over the years.  My brother, Gerry, has one of his prints.

 Redlin is an accomplished, prolific artist from Watertown, SD - which is where we've been the last 3 days.  Jim and Joan, friends from LHC that have a home on Lake Kampeska near Watertown, took us to the Redlin Art Center where we viewed hundreds of Redlin originals.

Above and below, a random sample of Redlin's work.  He's a master of detail and lighting.

The Redlin Art Center includes a huge gift shop which sells framed and unframed prints of various sizes, plus images of Redlin art reproduced on mugs, coffee tables, plates, vases, rugs, you name it.

Terry now lives in a nursing home near Watertown, a victim of Alzheimer's - which was probably caused by his use of lead-based paint.
