Another excellent picture of Max's. Captures the feeling of the location perfectly, the expansive views and the vulnerability to the wind - but as its painted on a still day, can almost smell the gorse! Brings back memories of trips up onto 'the tops' with George Quayle. Also thanks again Max for the delivery arrangements. Dave

Hi Dave, Thanks for the great review and also for the e mail/s. I thought from what you said in an earlier note that you would see the pines when you were doing the geophysical mapping up there. What were you trying to discover, old buildings, burial sites, artifacts?? I took the pictures that I used as the basis for the painting some years ago when i was a bit more athletic than I am now, in fact I used to do a lot of running which included going up Sky Hill. I have George Quayle's book "Legends of a Lifetime" which I still re-read from time to time, I seem to remember seeing him in Ramsey from time to time when I was still living there although my brother Tony would probably recall him a lot better. Anyway all the best for the moment. Max

I recognised my former neighbour as soon as I saw this on-line! Max is a great communicator - in paint and with clients. Painting despatched swiftly and well packed, and I'm delighted with the work now I've received it. Dave Martin

Hi Dave, Thought that I had better also reply via the review system. Many thanks for the great review, I enjoyed painting that portrait as I remember her as a character from my early life on the IOM. Glad that she has found a good home. Best wishes Max

The artist's brushstokes engrave character into faces with life experience . The oil painting, itself, displays a roughness in texture that highlights the well-worn, leathered face of the old fisherman. He feels like someone you've seen on any wharf that has had a long life of hard work and good stories!
