Description
Somewhere is that special hideaway that puts us in close touch with the wild. When found, & if we are in the right mood, the roles between man & wildlife are reversed. The experience becomes the opposite of that offered by zoos, where we safely observe from behind a fence of glass. in this place we are surrounded by the grand variety of nature. We sense the myriad wild faces that have come to watch us. But there is no need to be alarmed. The wildlife at this backwoods cabin mean no harm. On this fresh morning, stroll down the steps from the hillside cabin. Sit by the lake, quiet & watchful. One of nature's wonders, a trio of wood ducks, glide to a landing just across the inlet."

He is truly one of the country's most widely collected painters of wildlife & Americana. For nine consecutive years, 1991-99, Redlin has been named America's most popular artist in annual gallery surveys conducted by U.S.ART magazine.

He also placed second that year in the Federal Duck Stamp Competition. He has been honored as Artist of the Year for Ducks Unlimited (National & Minnesota) & as
