Mahone Bay
I very much like Mahone Bay and envy those who live there, but it is inferior to Lunenburg as a painter's resource. Lunenburg was awash with on site painters last week most congregated at the Dory Shop, which unfortunately is not quite as picturesque as it used to be. This is part of the problem with organized paint-on-site events. Individual painters can do a bit better publicizing themselves by appearing in a less formal, less crowded situation.
Rodney C Mackay is a traditional painter in the acrylic medium. He has been a newspaper reporter, high school teacher, antique dealer, bookman and biological technician. He married the late Anne Torey of New Glasgow, N.S. in 1957.They had four children. He had his first one man show in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1972 and he has been a full-time painter since that time. Three years after the death of his first wife, he married Ruth Brown in 1998. They reside in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
