"Back to the Sanctuary" - Deer Sculpture by Terry Redlin
Terry Redlin is one of my favorite artists. He is known as a painter of light, and his paintings depict scenes of nature and wildlife. The sculpture pictured above was inspired by his painting, "Back To The Sanctuary". Terry Redlin was also a conservationist donating more than $28 million to Ducks Unlimited for the preservation of wetlands, and he also donated several million dollars worth of art to other nonprofit, conservation groups. His paintings, showing seasonal landscapes with deer and fowl in evening light, are reminiscent of days gone by. Having grown up in a rural environment, I can easily relate to his work. His contribution, as an artist and conservationist, is appreciated by many.
