About Nicholas Beall
My name is Nick Beall. I have made my living from painting for the last 17 years. I started out as an illustrator, completing artwork for advertising agencies, book covers and encyclopedias. I have dedicated the last 11 years to animal portraits. I love painting all animals, but horses in particular.
It is such a challenge to attempt to capture the power and elegance of a horse. The quest to master the techniques needed to reproduce the light and sheen as it moves over muscle and hair, is a never ending pursuit.
I like to think that I have taken the professionalism developed as an illustrator and applied it to my private commissions as a pet and equine portrait artist. I take this job very seriously.
The client is entrusting me to do the job say I can do. I am paid to create a one off painting of their animal. I enter into a contract with the client to do the following: |
 |
- To paint a portrait based upon an agreed design.
- To capture the client's particular, individual horse, not any horse, their horse.
- To produce a painting to the high standard shown on my website, or surpass it.
- To keep the client informed of my progress, via the portraits in progress blog, and through emails.
- To complete the portrait on time, I never miss a deadline.
- Lastly, to complete any amendments the client may request. The portrait will not leave my studio until I am certain that the client is completely satisfied with my workmanship.

As long as I bear the above points in mind I will keep the reputation I have developed over the years. I will retain a long list of satisfied customers who return to me time and time again and recommend me to friends and family. I love this job, I always look forward to the challenge of the next portrait, and it is an honour to be chosen to immortalize someone's cherished friend.
If you would like to read more about myself and my wife Melanie, view photos from our studio, cottage, the garden, chickens, our dog Tom and much more, you can visit our about us pages on our main pet portraits website.
I look forward to hearing and working with you soon.
