About Me

My photo
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 - Brant Point Lighthouse with Sailboats

 I miss my bike trips on Natucket. For about 10 years we would go  the 3rd weekend in September and stay at the Hostel near Surfside Beach and bike the island and enjoyit. The pandemic came and the hostel was closed. It's a historic landmark so can't be torn down. Ive done many paintings of this lighthouse.

This picture is from someone else and i love this yellow and blue sailboat. As usual you can buy items with tis image on it at Pixels. It's not one of my best but enjoy it anyway
