Wind, snow, and bitter cold are all possibilities for Chicagoland on Thursday, February 9, 2017, but some members of the Nature Artists’ Guild will hardly notice, because they will be spending the morning in the tropics instead!
Sorry, this isn’t a give-away for a trip to Hawaii, but it is the chance to spend a morning, between 7 and 11 am, sketching, drawing, painting, and photographing in the tropical greenhouse of one of the nation’s oldest and largest orchid growers, Orchids by Hausermann, at 2N134 Addison Road in Villa Park, IL. One lucky participant will be awarded a gift certificate to spend as they choose at the greenhouse. Please click on this link to see the beautiful blooms in Hausermann’s catalog, including orchids that are in bud right now!
Space is limited for this popular event, so interested Nature Artists’ Guild members should contact Jane Kellenberger as soon as possible to reserve a spot. Jane’s contact information can be found in the Yearbook. Participants should bring their camera, art supplies, and possibly a small folding chair, as seating is limited.

This is a beautiful opportunity that regretfully I will miss due to a previous appointment but I highly recommend it!!!
