Vibrant backcountry landscape paintings by Joe McKay now at Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona

Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona in Tlaquepaque is thrilled to welcome the accomplished Western landscape painter Joe McKay to their group of award-winning artists. Vibrant paintings from all seasons by this extraordinary artist are centerpiece additions to the gallery's outstanding choices in landscape fine art. The mountains and canyons of the western frontier have long tugged at Joe McKay’s heart and imagination. Family vacations out West as a kid gave way to a lifelong passion for rugged landscapes across Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Montana. An avid outdoorsman, Joe travels the backcountry in search of inspiration. His expressive, energetic, and balanced creations evolve most often from preliminary work painted on location. An animating play of light and shadow distinguish his finished paintings. Click here for more paintings and info

Joe approaches his art with fervor and perseverance. He has trained with several renowned landscape artists and studied extensively with the Art Students League of New York. His work has been exhibited in locations from New York City to Santa Fe. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, Joe is a combat veteran of the Persian Gulf War, a former lawyer, and an accomplished luthier . . . before painting claimed his soul.
