Horse Portraits Commission Information
Portrait: 'George' with Plain Background.
Size & Medium: 22 x 16 Oils on Gallery Wrap Linen Canvas.
Commissioned from: UK.
This portrait was painted in 2011 for Anne and Sue Griffith's, UK. George was painted in oils on linen at 20 x 16 by Nick and both Sue and Anne were thrilled with the painting. You can see a few of the stages during the painting process, the final scan and details, the photos Nick used for reference and the portrait framed. I have also included two email from Anne and Sue when they saw and received the portrait and we are looking forward to seeing photos of George and his portrait this coming summer! I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission us to paint your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.
The Horse Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for colour differences between each stage and the final scan below.
The Oil Painting with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large paintings we take photographs of the artwork using a Sony DSLR camera, a tripod and two diffused photography lights. Our scans and photographs are always perfect quality if clients require giclee prints of their hand painted portrait for friends or family.
Client Horse Portraits Reference Photos
Our clients email a range of photographs for us to work with, we use one for the main pose of the portrait and others for detail, backgrounds etc The photographs depicted below may vary in colour to the finished painting above. This can be due to the scanned oil painting being slightly different to the original or often clients give us more than one photo to work from i.e. one for the pose and another for colouring.
Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section and on our main pet portraits website feedback section too.

Hi Melanie and Nick
Wow, it's AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much, the likeness is absolutely staggering. Nick has captured George to a tee and we can't wait to see the original, but know we shall always treasure it. We simply cannot thank you enough and find it hard to find the words to tell you just how delighted we are.
Please let us know if you'd like a photo of George with his portrait for use on your website. We should warn you though that he is now 5 years' older than the original photo and a bit shaggier (and a lot greyer!) around the edges! We would make this very clear in our accompanying testimonial!!!
Thank you again
Sue and Anne x

Hi Melanie and Nick
George's portrait arrived safely yesterday and I absolutely love it. It's gorgeous and just so 'George'. I will make sure I take a photo of him with his portrait and will write a proper testimonial for your website.
Is it ok if I wait until summer? At the moment he is very hairy and spends most of his time plastered in mud (he has hippopotamus tendencies and likes to wallow in the biggest muddy puddle he can find!).
Thank you so much, I will treasure this portrait.
