"September at Creekside,” an acrylic by Tony Shuff, will be accompanied by in-progress photos during Takes on Nature: Artists’ Views of the Great Outdoors, the latest show scheduled at Lincoln Art Institute. Shuff's work, as well as over 20 other works by members of Logan County Arts, will illustrate the technique and challenges of plein air painting, which is done spontaneously on site rather than from photos or memory. The opening for the show will be from 5 to 8 p.m. this evening at the gallery located at 112 S. McLean St., next to the Lincoln Post Office.
