Streams & Ponds

Like a bee or a bird, Mary Lou's eyes are drawn to the silver of the streams and reflective surfaces of the ponds throughout the Hudson Valley.

Colors of the Sky

The oranges, blues, and purples of the dawning and dusking skies provide endless inspiration for Mary Lou's paintings.
