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

painting sold and paintings donated
two events in my artistic life this week
1) I sold a painting to a man in my church - Charles. My art business card has a picture of my Brant Point Lighthouse Sunrise and he decided to buy it. I have several prices
a) Pastor price - 100 dollars for people who feed my Christian Soul
b) Friend and Family - 150 - especially for people whose pictures I use and want to buy them
c) everyone else -200
d) free - wedding gifts and Christian camps that I do paintings of the property and donate them.
Charles is an artist himself and decided on the everyone else price. Pictures Below
2) I donated 3 of my paintings to Camp-of-the-Woods, a place that I have described in previous posts but suffice to say I am a third generation Camper. They have a webcam called the Campcam that is set up on one end of the beach and looks to the other end. It also swings to the sunset at the proper time. I gave them 2 paintings from the Campcam, sunset and winter, and on of an older building since demolished with a 3 branch tree that generations of families have take pictures on it. It was also taken down due to age.
I gave them to the front desk and the winter one was hung up immediately in the office because it has a snowman in it and the office staff built the snowman. There is a 3rd floor stairway in the main building with 3 of my previous paintings hanging up. Hope these three will join them. I plan to do a series of Campcam paintings for each season and nice sunsets.
