Max is an up and coming artist, classically trained in representational art, and having already exhibited throughout the UK. Max sells existing artwork, limited edition prints, and accepts art commissions for portraits or landscapes.
Commissions
Customers choose to commission portraits or landscapes for a variety of reasons. Portraits might be commissioned to celebrate the birth of a baby, a special birthday or anniversary, an engagement, or simply as a unique gift for someone special.
Portraits are usually completed over 4-10 sittings (averaging 30 plus hours work) using oil paint or charcoal and chalk depending on preference. Max is happy to also work from photographs though would prefer to take these himself, if possible, to achieve the best results.
Landscapes are often commissioned to capture a favourite view, places that have special meanings or memories of shared experiences, or for wall space that needs specific visual impact. Landscapes are usually completed plein air (on location) using oil paints on canvas.
Pricing for Commissions
Pricing is very individual and is tailored to your budget. As a general and rough guide a half-length portrait (concentrating on head and shoulders) like ‘Barry’ (60 x 45 cm) would be £750. Three-quarter or full length portraits cost more due to the complexity.
A landscape like ‘Olive Tree’ or ‘St. Anthony of Padau’ (both 35 x 25 cm) would be £240.
Framing, postage and packaging, or travel expenses are not included.

I have recently bought an original piece of art from Max, an absolutely exquisite drawing of Venus. It is both stunning and brilliant. The art was beautifully framed. As I live in Canada, the piece was mailed to me. The whole process was professionally executed and my art arrived on time and extremely well packaged. I believe Max is a gifted artist, whose talents will take him far.

I bought an Art Work
Max Did a charcoal portrait of me. It was done over a period of days and each day it got better. In the end it was totally stunning. I could not have been happier with the finished work. Max is a very talented artist, I will be keeping an eye on what he produces in the future.

I bought an original piece of artwork from Max, which he also arranged to have framed for me. The drawing is beautiful, and the framing incredibly sympathetic. I am delighted with it; it looks stunning in my newly-decorated bedroom. Everyone should have a Max original!

An art lover
Having bought a few of his early works I have followed Max since he arrived from the wilds of Lancashire and am amazed at his progress and the emergence of a young man who could be one of our major artists in the years to come.

I bought an artwork from this artist
I purchased an early, contemporary piece from this young artist about four years ago. I partly bought it as an investment as I had every confidence that Max would go on to do great things and judging from his recent work I was right.
Apart from that , I love the painting. It is modern and dramatic and visitors to my house always comment on it. Max was a pleasure to deal with. Obviously passionate about his work and extremely hard working.
