At the ripe old age of 69, Max took up the brush and never looked back. His goal in his paintings was 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.”
