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

good week - sold a painting and finished a dog tribute
Good week in the Jack Mckenzie Art part of my life
1) I finished the painting of my brother's ( Ken McKenzie and Julie DeWitt McKenzie and family) dog, the late Speedy, and sent it up to them, where it arrived safely. (my first dog painting) Hopefullly in will be a good reminder
2) I sold my painting, Ocean Grove Book Boat, to Pastor Howie Van Dyk, who is out campus pastor at First Baptist and associate pastor at Hawthorne Gospel. He visited my show at Paramus Library after conducting a funeral and , being an avid book reader, he liked this one. I have given him my art calendar every year, which has hung in his church office as will this painting. Thanks.

Requiem for Speedy - RIP
My brother's family dog Speedy died after 14 years. They live in Albion Maine on my brother's farm with various animals. A very quiet affectionate dog but had a cyst develop on her neck that could not be removed because she was not able to tolerate the anesthetic. She will be missed.
