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 waiting
lumber yards in nearby towns. "This painting was a challenge," the
artist
comments, "because I needed to combine several sources of light. Hopefully
the
eye moves easily from on area of bustling activity to
another."
