MaryLou Strode


MaryLou Strode is one of our members here at Valley Artisans Market.  She is an incredibly gifted painter and if I could find a description for what MaryLou means to our coop outside of just her art I would be here all day.  She is one of the hearts and souls of the coop and her contributions are so vast I simply can't put it into words. I will just leave it at that.

“Summer Haze,” is the latest painting by Mary Lou Strode.  This rural landscape, seen through the lens of this longtime resident of Argyle in Washington County, epitomizes a summer day, probably in late afternoon, where the atmosphere has congealed somewhat making the distant hills partly obscured.  The yellow field in the foreground is newly mown and the remaining stubble has started to ripen.  More landscapes of the surrounding countryside and several of Acadia National Park in Maine can be viewed at Valley Artisans Market where Ms. Strode exclusively shows her  work.

Just a quick note the blog has been in the beginning stages of it's creation and there have been a few glitches. I think I have worked them out and the blog and the pictures of beautiful art will start coming much more frequently.  Have a great day and if you are in the area of Cambridge this weekend please stop on over and meet one of the artists as we all work there.
