Does anyone know anything about his paintings ?

  A buddy of mine wants to list one one e-bay,but we have no idea what they should ask for it. It's on canvas and to me it looks like a real painting not a print. Whats wrong with that thought is Terry hasn't sold an orginal painting since like 86'. We found the prints on his site but thats not what we have here.

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?

tikka -

i have absolutely no clue about him but it sounds interesting.

you might be able to get some information at http://www.askart.com - www.askart.com .

Hey Mt.

Morning retreat 20x30 canvas $1,800

That is an edition of 750.

 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.

We're drifting off subject here but what is new?  re the 'paper shells' - how well I recall taking the empties, cutting a triangle slit just above the brass, lighting it off and voila! - you had an instant hand warmer, good for several minutes!  Anyone else recall doing that?

Oh, BTW, about 3-4 of these and you could boil a can of Viennas or Beanie-Weinies from the blind bag.  Oh, joy!

Friday and Saturday ends our season here in Georgia, and I ain't ready for it to be over.

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!!!!!!!!!

Remember those times well.  Those singles were called "long tom" around here, always 30 inch or 32 inch full choke.  If you hit those rising pheasants they were dead for sure.  Only a wimp would have carried and open choke in those days.

If you want the literary equivalent of Redlin's paintings, remember Corey Fords Lower Forty column in Field & Stream???

I'm back again, I can't leave this alone!  Get a copy of Gordon MacQuerrie's book[s], read it and come back and post up what happens.  I'm willing to bet you can see the sunrise, feel the sting of the sleet, smell the dog, maybe even feel the recoil from a high overhead shot - all from reading his work.  Oh, I do love it!

For a brief preview - I'm warning you, though, this could become habit forming!

I like MacQuarrie's works, I've got most of his books.  Exploits with Mr. President (I think it was his 'father-in-law') were pretty good.

Somehow I think that the individual needs to know how tough it was to start a car of the '40-'50 on a cold winter morning with snow falling.  Remember that cranking noise and the prayers said hoping it would kick over.  Today's kids (mine included) are of the digital computer age.  You touch the key and it starts...no knowledge how to set the choke or pump the gas to get it to start without flooding.

Things like the smell when you uncap the thermos bottle at 5 am, after you sweat poling a boat into the swamp.  These old writers really knew how to express those things. 

Today the stories are more like "When my plane landed the outfitter and his attractive wife Peggy met me at the airport, after a hardy breakfast of quiche Lorraine, Ron my guide and I took an ATV the 300 yards into the beautiful concrete blind over a heavily filled food plot..... the ducks came in all morning".

Tough for the MTV generation to know the simpler ways and the humor and adventure from those days.

I could hunt with you!

I was listening to C&W music in the car and the guy was singing about his dad's old car with a manual choke.  Ask the next 30 year old (not my son...he was brought up right) "what's a choke?"

Time moves on.
