Oil Paintings

Max has been dubbed by his closest friends as “the happy painter” for a reason.  He loves what he does, and he loves people.  Max painted in oils at a very young age, Jr. High, and gave it up quickly due to frustration.  At the ripe old age of 69, he took up the brush again and never looked back.  His goal in his paintings is to bring the viewer to an old fond memory or to a place longed for. Max loves to paint what he loves… from the woods and the mountains of Appalachia where he camped with his four sons to the swamplands of Louisiana where he roamed every summer visiting his grandmother.  And of course, he cannot leave out his beloved Texas.  “If the subject means nothing to me, I cannot paint it. It must first be in my heart for it to show up on my canvas.”
