Lifetime Achievement Award

It was very honored to get awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Plein Air Convention and Expo. I gave a demonstration at their very first and second conventions, a couple of their online conventions and have had several articles in their Plein Air magazine; so it was very special to me! They had a very nice presentation and two videos, one showing my life as an Artist and one showing my appreciation for the award.

This was the second such award that I have gotten in the last year and kind of makes me feel that maybe I did make a difference, as they told me I did, with my drawing, painting and teaching for over 75 years! Here is a link to it all: Ned Mueller -Lifetime Achievement Award - Plein Air Magazine

Our next Online Wednesday class will be starting on September 9th. We have an Online Expressive Drawing Workshop scheduled for the first weekend of June 5th, 6th and 7th, we still have one or two spaces left there. I am the juror of awards for this year's Plein Air Washington Artist's "Little Gems" exhibition at the Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes and so am doing a two day "Plein Air Workshop" on August 1st and 2nd.

We limit all of our classes to 12 students, so each student gets a lot of attention. We have all of these listed on our website under workshops and the Plein Air Workshop is also listed on the Plein Air Washington Artist website.

We also just recorded two videos on "Art School Live" They are on using the 'Principles of Design"...if you use them, your paintings will get better! They are free on YouTube "Art School Live"..a great source for inspiration and education!

We are taking a two month summer break, other than our scheduled Workshops. It's good to take a long break, once in awhile to charge our batteries, and just have a little more fun than usual.I might take a few short trips probably to paint and take photos for inspiration.I hope you all have a fruitful and creative summer and I will look forward to bringing you more news in the near future. in the meantime consider connecting with me on fb or instagram for shorter segments. Have a great Summer !..... Ned
