Lewis Bryden is a poet. He constructs studies of light and air and space... He communicates his own joy at being outside in nature and his sense that the world is a satisfying place to live... His landscapes are most remarkable for their feeling of harmony and serenity, and above all, for their unaffected naturalness. Lewis Bryden's paintings are showcased along with the country's greatest landscape painters, (Cole, Homer, Innes, Wyeth) in the books Paintings of New England and The Artist and the American Landscape. His signature Pioneer Valley landscapes have garnered national attention and can be found in the finest corporate and private collections in the United States.

| “For the past 350 years the farmers of my town, Hadley—as farmers in all the Pioneer Valley—have waited impatiently each spring for the ground to thaw so they can plow their fields. Thus begins the most hectic and delightful time of year, a period I call the Growing Season. From the first seeds in the ground to the final harvest in the fall, there is an abundance of outdoor activity that unites us all across the centuries. But it is more than just a time for crops. There are also the home gardens and their gardeners, and the blossoming of the parks and forests. The river and the local lakes, too, become places of activity after being long neglected in the winter. Everything is growing, seemingly—even the people. This is my favorite time of year, and I wanted to celebrate it in paint.” — Lewis Bryden |
