WOW! It's been a crazy year and a half. Most of us hunkered down and focused on our craft. Some of us binge-watched YouTube videos and others created them. Thank goodness for online ordering from DickBlicks.com, CheapJoes.com, and BHPhotoVideo.com to satisfy our creative needs. What new medium did you experiment with – what did you accomplish? We have learned a lot about ourselves during this time. Hopefully, we have become better people during these times.
The country is now opening up and we need our in-person creative friends fix. Carol Lynn and Larry Brechner have graciously offered their amazing property for this year's Illiana Artists Annual Plein Air Picnic. We are inviting past members, past juried exhibition artists, and of course current members. Yes, can bring a guest.
Grab your plein air supplies of choice, a lawn chair, and your own lunch and drink. Larry said he will have the grill fired up if you want to cook your food.
