^THE GREEN SLEIGH" 
 By Edward W. Redfield 
 
 Among the men whose work is typical of qui- time and have done 
 much to instill a distinctive note of nationalism in American art Ed- 
 ward W. RecVfield deserves a most prominent place. An avowed realist 
 his art is concrete and explicit, depicting with extraordinary truthful- 
 ness the aspects of nature. Winter has furnished him with most of his 
 themes; his greatest successes were achieved in the presentation of at- 
 mospheric and climatic effects peculiar to this season. Most sensitively 
 alert to the ever-changing phases of his subjects his keen eye records 
 the differences with imerring fidelity — here, deftly suggesting the soggy, 
 wet, melting snow — there, the dry, powdery surface as it appears in 
 zero weather — again, he successfully gives the ei'l'ect of a heavy snow- 
 fall with thick, gray atmosphere threatening still another storm, whlle^ 
 often he pictures the bright, crisp scintillating effect of sunlight as it 
 flits acres? the snow-covered fields. IVEr. Redfield works almost exclu- 
 sively out of doors. In the Delaware valley and Pennsylvania hill 
 country around Center Bridge, where he lives, every inch of ground is 
 familiar to him. When he has selected a subject for presentation he 
 studies it most analytically and carefully observes under which atmos- 
 pheric conditions it appears to best advantage, often going a dozen 
 
times to the spot before it seems ripe to him. The painting when once, 
 begun is executed with amazing rapidity ; such is his virtuosity that 
 most of his canvases are completed in a single sitting. Thoroughly 
 conversant with the principle of impressionism as discovered by the 
 r-'renchmen he has evolved a style of his own. He works with a full 
 brush, and vigorously in the most direct manner possible, lays in his 
 subject with pure, vibrating and luminous color. Few artists succeed 
 in creating such a perfect illusion of out door light and sense of 
 actuality.
