The Valley Green has been painted countless times since the mid 1800's. With the serene setting and beautiful backdrop of the Wissahickon Valley, it has been a favorite resting place for weary travelers, a romantic memory for weddings, and of course, a great place to feed the ducks.
The images below represent a small sample of some of the paintings of Valley Green. We have many portraits on display here at the Inn!

Valley Green by Richard William Greenleaf.
Richard is a self-taught artist who enjoys painting oceanic scenes, historical areas, cityscapes with architectural value, as well as various wildlife scenes. His style is an extremely colorful blend of realism and impressionism using acrylics with a watered technique. He uses many layers of color that brings out the real depth and color that is not always apparent to the naked eye.
"Boat House Row, Philadelphia" by Laura Matthew
Laura Matthew has been painting and drawing since age nine. While studying at the Tyler School of Art and living around the world, her talent has developed to a level of such fine detail the viewer is compelled to take a closer look. Laura's works have been acknowledged throughout the area in various forums and contests. On October 20, 1999, she was featured as "Citizen of the Week" in the Ambler Gazette. Also in that year, she was featured on WPVI-TV, Channel 6ABC's "Prime Time" television program.
