The Country Doctor Series (22, 23, 24, 25)
A place of Quiet Healing in these beautiful paintings Terry Redlin remembers a nostalgic
piece of Americana that disappeared many years ago. It was a time and place where the
healing power of the country doctor was just a short buggy ride away. The doctor was on a
first name basis with everyone for miles around. He cared for them from the day they were
born, through teenage years, then nurtured the children they bore. The country doctor was
devoted to his profession, his community and a way of life that now lingers only in our
imagination. |

25. "House Calls" -
It's Wednesday afternoon, traditional "time off" from a country doctor's busy
schedule. The fishing pole was strapped to the buggy before leaving home in the morning.
The baskets of produce, barter payment from his morning patients, will provide refreshment
for the remainder of the day. Perhaps the doctor will stop to wet his line at the stream
just ahead, or continue on to the secluded lake just beyond the distant hills. |

24. "Morning Rounds"
- The rural doctor at the turn of the century did not work a nine-to-five job. Like the
farmers he served, breakfast was before sunup and work already started as morning light
broke over the horizon. But a country doctor's demanding schedule offered clear
advantages: the regenerative powers of solitude and nature, regular visits with old
friends and the satisfaction of knowing efforts were appreciated. |

23. "Office Hours" - Regardless
of weather or hour, the country doctor was always on call." On this crisp winter
evening he's attending a patient in the upstairs bedroom. His transportation quietly waits
below, tethered to a bucket of sand, the doctor's convenient traveling hitching post. The
illness we hope is minor and, after dispensing both physical and and verbal medications,
he will return to the warmth and security of his own home. |

22. "Wednesday Afternoon"
- After completing the day's rounds, the doctor has returned to his office to pick tip
messages, finish necessary paper work and plan tomorrow's schedule. The horse, too, is at
the end of a tiring day and waits patiently for the short trip home. Other villagers have
retired for supper, but the bank owner will return soon to take in the flag. The
distinctive church is re-created from an actual structure near the artist's boyhood home. |

21. "Campfire Tales" - "The homemade camper top on the old pickup is a forerunner of the modern versions.
The four deer are secretly watching the activities. Only in the morning will tracks reveal
their presence. The man launching the wooden canoe occasionally "dipped", as we
detect from the Copenhagen can vaguely outlined in his rear pocket." |

22. "Spring Fever" - "In this
delightful image Terry Redlin remembers a long-ago time when the world was a symphony of
youthful shouts, glorious blue skies and secret hideaways in the trees. On such carefree
days friends gathered to fish, then climb the hill to test their homemade kites against
the brisk spring breeze. The wagon brings a supply of cold soda and other tempting picnic
treats." |
