Nothing interesting on TV this evening. Then I remembered receiving a card from Ted with this URL address.
I tell you I spent the most marvelous evening looking at each painting, almost devouring them. I read each description by the artist and also each guest comments.
I noted that Ted is most generous as he seems to donate most of the completed paintings. Donated "last Supper" and "Last Supper II" to his church. Then 2 paintings donated for a blind auction as a gift to a church.
"Mantuck Lighthouse" another donation to a pastor.
And several to Katrina victims. And some to his son. Oh, there was one also to Lucinda.
I noted only one was a contract purchase, or is it called a commission work. And one, Heidemann Mill is in a museum.
A most generous person is this Ted. And I thank him for a most enjoyable evening. Woops, it is way past my bedtime, but I enjoyed every minute of this viewing.
[priveledged critic by: Envious
His wife commented she lives with him. What an honor, and to be the first to see his wonderful creations.
I imagine his wife is his worst/best critic also. Musing, maybe the painting never materializes without her input.
Ted has improved very much. by: His Wife
Ted has improved a great deal over the last few months, but I don't want to brag too much as HIS HEAD is getting bigger all the time, and I have to live with him. HA HA
awed by: hospital nurse
When you gave me this URL address, I had no idea what to expect.
Your paintings are fantastic. Wish we had some of your paintings in our hospital.
What a beautiful gift you gave me, a tour of your paintings, right from a comfortable chair. What a delightful evening I had with your paintings.
Thanks !
met you by: Anonymous
Met you while visiting your wife was in our hospital. Your art and your humor are commendable. And after viewing this fabulous collection of your paintings I was awed.
Your HUMBLE humor really shows, in your paintings and meeting you personally.
"I'm so glad I met you."

I see your humor in some of the paintings, but the realism is stupendous your show is stupendous.
Thoughtful art by: Bela
After looking through your pictures I was struck by the lovely use of colour and your witty nature which shines through (I am thinking especially of the motorbike)!
Keep painting, Ted, it is a pleasure to see.
amazing detail by: Anonymous
I was browsing through YAHOO and GOOGLE and wanted to see some grist mills. So I typed red mill and up came Clinton Mill in New Jersey. And there was a picture of the Clinton Mill. And it was a painting by Ted E. Mueller referenced to see it at art-in-tropical-australia.com/ted-mueller.
This is quite a detailed painting and I see it in in possession of his son. This is such a beautiful painting, and with such detail. Then I was able to see other paintings by this artist. he is spectacular with his beautiful work.
I would like to contact him to complement him on the beautiful work he makes. Please pass this comment on to him.
Awesome by: art critic
As a self appointed "volunteer" art critic, I have seen many art pieces. Ted has a wonderful way of placing just the right moment on his canvasses.
Subject matter is varied, which is fantastic. He has a diversity of subject and a distinct manner of selection.
Viewing his work is like a vacation tour. All seem to be very comforting for a viewer to study. Landscapes of his are inspiring in such a way that I personally can visualize going to that exact place, walking that scene.
I feel as though I have been on a mini vacation after viewing Ted's work, and have not left the comfort of my comfortable chair.
But most spectacular is the "Last Supper".
Admirer by: Anonymous
After viewing all your wonderful paintings I would like to have one of them as my own personal picture. But all of them are so beautiful, no stupendous, I cannot select just one.
Maybe I should have you do a custom request piece just for me.
I love landscapes and you do have a distinct way of painting them. More photographic than abstract which attracted me to your unique style and quality.
You can be sure I will look at these many more times until I revel in your beautiful paintings.

Well you were right they are very beautiful.
Thanks again: Your Demo Lady At Sam's Club Ruth.
humble thank you by: college professor
I want to thank Ted and the creator of this fantastic site for a memorable evening of art appreciation. I spent an entire evening studying each painting, Ted, and each eloquent description of each.
Apparently I have not been the only one to have experienced such an evening which many of the comments state.
Ted's humble passion for such realism and particular detail in each painting is apparent. Yet he humbly credits others for his gift. His works are superb with precision and detail. It is apparent he researches before he paints, and both are so beautifully done.
Why go to a museum when such quality of works are visible here? It has been recognized that music is akin to mathematics. Art is akin to appreciation of one's surroundings. I recognize that Ted has mathematics, music, and art, as well as his appreciation of his surroundings, all of which are so apparent in his work.
Lasting Impression by: marie
You have created a lasting impression about your "humble self" as one comment stated.
Your work is so stunning, so detailed, I have a lasting impression of your work. And such a variety of interests you so eloquently illustrate.
You have had a marvelous instructor that has guided you. It is apparent you are a dedicated individual, as it shows in your paintings. I can assure you I realize each was not a quick dab of paint here or there, but painstaking realism shows on each of your pieces.
waiting by: Anonymous
I spent most of an evening looking at all of your paintings listed here, reading their descriptions and your defining dialogue about each.
I'm sure you will create more and I am waiting in anticipation for the next revelation from you.
I will visit this site every week possible to see the latest from such a gifted person.
