Ken "Sparky" MacKenzie impressionism Landscapes Cityscapes Art - Travel isn't just "the thing"; it is the "only thing" ! for myself , my inspiration to paint comes from the desire to record visually the every day events that I stumble upon simply by virtue of being in that location at that time.
Wherever that location happens to be. it may be the fascination of watching the scenery change from the western plains to Georgia O'keefs New Mexico style landscapes or it may be the first hand discovery of early morning sun on a wind carved arch on a rarely used trail somewhere in southern Utah.
Not that all the excitement of discovery is reserved or restricted to spectacular landscapes or beach scenes. Perhaps its the excitement of the crowds out on the streets after the Moto GP race in Monterey or the frenzy of the locals & visitors welcoming the participants to an evening bivouac during one leg of the Dakar race as they pass through Castellon. It might even be the annual parade of carriages held in Seville to celebrate the arrival of spring.
As you view this gallery I sincerely hope something in my paintings will reminded you of a treasured moment.
Thank you.
