Happy summer! Finally, It's been a cold, windy, rainy, you name it, but it feels like we are full swing into warm, hot, and let's not talk about the storms that are coming all too frequently. Time to head to the beach house, the vacation spot, and of course those summer Art Shows!, and stock up on some art. I've been working on some new pieces, some of them layers of images, and somewhat abstract versions of work, and new photographs along the way. I just finished a nice show for 4 days in Virginia Beach, great weather mostly, and successful show. I will be back next year. A quick trip to Chicago, downtown, I have many customers over the years in the city, and hope to see you in Grant Park. Im back right away with a show in Norwalk, & Westport, CT my stomping grounds for the past 5 years. I'll spend the 4th of July weekend in Amagansett, out in the Hampton's... I'm adding to my website all the time, and exploring new pieces. Hope to see you this summer.

 2 Surfers ©2014 Mark MacKinnon
 
 

Surfing is one of the oldest practiced sports on the planet. The art of wave riding, is a blend of total athleticism and the comprehension of the beauty and power of nature. Surfing is also one of the few sports that creates its own culture and lifestyle.

The act of riding waves with a wooden board originated in Western Polynesia over three thousand years ago.  

The first surfers were fishermen who discovered riding waves as an efficient method of getting to shore with their catch . Eventually catching waves developed from being part of everyday work to being a pastime. This change revolutionized surfing.
