Terry Redlin Question

I am glad I am not a huge fan of Redlin, as I can't afford his stuff.  Lots of people pay big bucks for his prints and they are usually garner the highest bids at our DU banquets.  If your friend has an original I would like to be in his shoes.  nice....

Any idea what the title is?

Hey Mt.

 It's called ,"Morning Retreat",never been out of the shipping paper except to look at it.

 Dang it came out big.

Terry Redlin hit it big as the DU artist of the year in the late '70s.  Morning retreat was one of his early PRINTS that drove prices thru the ceiling.  His style was different, old time scenes with lots of metallic Skies and lighting. 

On the print side DU saw a good thing and keep increasing the number of signed prints each year.  The early ones were one of 500 and each chapter got one to auction.  later they grew to 750, then 1000, then 2000.  The more they make the less they are collectible.  In the last 30 years there are dozens of people that have adopted his style.

There are signed and unsigned Redlins.  The unsigned ones were made by the 10,000 and have little collector value.  Artist name and #/700 are on the print.  Some are Remarked with a little drawing by the artist.

These are technically lithographs, not prints....but everyone calls them prints.

The pic you posted appears to be a litho?  I doubt it is an original oil painting........if so it is very valuable.  There is only ONE original; so it would not be #1 0f 750 or anything like that.  If it isn't marked with a #/1000 type it is probably an unnumbered print (not worth much as they are still selling them .  the difference between a litho and a original oil is obvious and an art shop could tell your friend.

I meet T.R. and I like his work, but sometimes the colors are too vivid for my taste.  His painting scored VERY high with hunters who thought he captured  ducks in the morning and evening light dramatically.  Art critics were never greatly impressed.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Most of his prints are of ducks as he had a great financial relationship with Ducks Unlimited.

It certainly captures the "mood" of the hunt. B Open

I still have a permanent callous on my finger from having it slam into the extra trigger on my Fox B double trigger gun. 

Nice to see a guy who appreciates paper shells (they would swell some in the bottom of my duck boat) and Terry Redlin.  By the way I had a Brittany and a lab, the smell of neither when wet  could even be compared to the beagles I hunt with today. wow.

Remembering the past, do you remember how heavy those Woolrich red/black plaid coats weighted after a days deer hunting in a light rain, never been so tired.

OH MAN!talk about lost in the mist of the past!!!Woolrich coats and food""cooked "" over paper hulls!!,but that is what I love about Redlin's art,,his sunset hunt scenes are what makes me remember traipsin' for miles in old stubble for one or two shots at ringnecks with an old IVER JOHNSON BICYCLE WORKS 16ga. hammer gun with a 38" bbl. choked full and shells I bought with $$ from return bottles!!!!

GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!
