The Between the Bluffs 2023 Plein Air Competition (https://betweenthebluffs.com/) features over twenty-five regional and national artists all competing for awards and recognition. Artists have two weeks to produce their works—all within a 15 mile radius of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Jon Erickson (www.Jonericksonartist.com) is one of the plein air artists scoping the region for new locations in the lush bluffland area of Wisconin and Minnesota. See his previous award-winning works here (click link).
“The beauty of our blufflands provides numerous opportunities for outdoor painting. My work is inspired by exploring Mississippi River vistas in the driftless region and remote emergent wetlands,” explained Erickson. More about local Jon Erickson here (click link).
