Congratulations to Ned Mueller Artist on this impressive award!

Always nice to get an Award, particularly First Place, and from an artist that I have admired for many years Camille Przewodek . Camille Przewodek. The competition is always high in these contests, but still worth giving it your best try. Thanks to Modern Impressionist Magazine , and Camille, for putting a little more wind in my sails!
