Evening on the Ice
"Growing up in eastern South Dakota, I loved to hunt and fish. In the winter, the lakes turned into small towns bustling with activity. One of the best forms of entertainment was ice fishing! Vehicles would drive out to the 'hot spots' and while the fishermen would swap stories and unwind from a long work-week, everyone would watch and wait for a bite! Today, it is no different. I look out from my studio and the frozen lake is alive with ice houses, vehicles, and snowmobiles. The enjoyment I get from watching these winter activities inspired the painting, 'Evening on the Ice'." - Terry Redlin
