About Me
- Jack McKenzie
- Paramus, New Jersey, United States
- No, this in not a blog about gardening in any way, but a journal of my journey to become a professional landscape painting artist. For years, I’ve given my paintings as wedding gifts without thinking of profiting in some way from it. I worked for 18 years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC as a computer programmer. I have been a painter since 1990, coincidentally, when I started working at the Met. I watched Bob Ross do his thing on Channel 13 in New York and decided I could do this, too. I have no formal training. I incorporate Bob's wet-on-wet technique for sky and water. My subject matter is covered bridges, lighthouses, fishing village scenes, barns, etc. Maine, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Nova Scotia and Spain are some of the places I have painted. My style is detailed and sometimes people think a photo of the painting is an actual photo of the scene. I hope to continue and grow in this medium. I also like to cook & dance. I am also a committed Christian. I am taking commissions - painting your landscapes style photos or your vacation home. Prices on request. contact me - Jackmck@juno.com my website is www.artofjackmckenzie.com

New Painting: Tisbury Wharf at Midnight - Martha's Vineyard
This is one of my favorite Martha's Vineyard painting subjects - The yellow building om the Tisbury Marina Wharf. It's a fuel pumping station, but I still find it interesting. The source picture is form the Vineyard Colors FB page. The man does a commercial paper route around the island and picks up the papers from the 3:30 am ferry, so he gets lots of good night and sunrise shots. The is facing the building from the water. I did another one at the same midnight time fram the land land looking towards the building. A friend bought it right away. So here it is, along with a link pixels.com to purchasing items (such as mugs, bags,masks, etc with this image on it
along with it's companion piece
