Everton in the Community is offering one lucky Blue the chance to be the proud owner of an exclusive, commissioned painting of Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti, painted by Liverpool-based artist John Charles which will be personally presented to you by Mr Ancelotti himself.

Supporters can have the opportunity to own this eye-catching piece of artwork by simply bidding in Everton in the Community’s December auction, with all funds raised channelled back into the charity to support the development and sustainability of its life-changing programmes.

John, originally from Kirkby describes his art as “rugged and free” with explosions of colour and textures and as well as painting iconic city buildings such as the Liver Building and Sefton Palm House, he is currently working on a Liverpool Icon Collection which features the likes of Merseyside's world-famous actors Jodie Comer, Stephen Graham and other famous faces from the city. 

With his pieces being in high demand and selling out almost instantly, John Charles has created this iconic painting of Everton manager, Carlo Ancelotti exclusively for Everton in the Community and you can be in with a chance of owning this by placing your bid here.

"I’m aware of the great work Everton in the Community has done in our region since the 80’s and wanted to contribute to their efforts" said John, speaking ahead of the start of the live auction. "The best way I could think to help was to donate a painting of the main man himself, Carlo Ancelotti! The painting’s received great feedback on social media and now hopefully this will go to a lucky blue."

Due to the current government guidelines, a date for the meet and greet with Carlo Ancelotti will only be confirmed once restrictions have been eased and it is considered safe to do so.
