Hi Miguel,
I have not looked up this artist, but I grew up in a small town southwest of
Chicago called Willow Springs. It was on the "Des Plaines River", which
according to Webster's New Geographical Dictionary dated 1988 p. 329 is a
river in NE Illinois that is 150 miles long and rises in SE Wisconsin. It
flows south to unite with the Kankakee River and form the Illinois River. I
hope this helps. We'd better get a newer dictionary just in case the world
has changed since 1988.

Subject: Seeking Information on Watercolorist George Buehn
Dear ARLIS List Members:
A customer (we call them customers, not patrons) here is trying to locate
information on an artist named George Buehn, born around 1905 and on a
painting that might be called, "Deshlaines River Illinois." or was painted
in the vicinity of Deshlaines River. Has anyone run across this artist?
