Country Picnic: Ed Pribyl

We're kicking off the Country Picnic series in 2010 with Northern Illinois artist Ed Pribyl. We spied Ed's work at last December's One of a Kind Show and Sale Chicago and find ourselves visiting the site again and again to check out his latest wood carving. Ed's list of accolades includes recognition from publications like Early American Life and Woodcarving Illustrated, as well as a roster of nationwide collectors. Collections include Christmas, Halloween, and patriotic pieces, as well as new country musician, farm animal, and whale works (among our favorites naturally).
