This is when the two men came up with the idea for their lifelong friendship and professional partnership.

Painter Mackay

Painter Mackay was an extremely talented young man who had tremendous talent as a painter. Before he began to paint, he would often sit for hours and paint various scenes from his life. He was fascinated with life’s natural wonders and the magnificent buildings and landscapes that he saw every day on his travels. Once he began to paint, his focus on capturing the scenery and ‘flowers’ in his pictures grew.

When he finally pursued his dream to become a full-time artist, his path was strewn with countless difficulties. He struggled throughout much of his early career to balance his love of art with a regular job. Mackay studied art and architecture at the Boston University School of Art, but his lack of success prevented him from receiving a degree. He was, however, able to continue his studies through correspondence with fellow students and he continued to paint throughout his life. By the time of his death, he was well into his third decade as a full-time artist.

Painter Mackay’s paintings portray life in its most natural form. His style is distinctive and each of his paintings evokes images of natural things and scenes. These images include flowers, landscapes, the ocean, and ‘woods’.

This led him to believe that each word depicted in his work had a symbolic meaning.
