One of my sources of painting pictures is from a woman photographer in Newfoundland named Catherine Rose. She posts many pictures of harbor scenes and other places around Newfoundland. This is a lobster shack waiting to push off for a day of lobstering. As usual items with this image can be found at pixels

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: West Chop Sunset
This is taken from a photo on a website called Vineyard Colors. There was a man on Martha's Vineyard who picked had a commercial paper route and picked them up from the ferry at 3am. While distributing the to various establishments, he would take pictures all over the island and post them on his website. He gave blanket permission to anyone who wanted to use the pictures. I have done a number of paintings of his pictures and he want to see them.
This is a sunset on the West side of Marth's Vineyard between the island and West Chop Mass. As usual, you get purchase items with this image via Pixels website

new painting - Ocean Grove Book Boat - Pavillion Entrance
As always, Ocean grove is my favorite place on the Jersey Shore. At many of the entrances to the beach, there is propped against the railing a small boat with books for beach goers to relax with. This day there were skateboards, scooters and a bicycle surrounding it. Active and quiet fun for those who want it. As usual I loaded this painting into pixels so you can buy stuff with this image on it
