About the Commission of 'Lockhart'
Erin Galasterer, USA, contacted Nicholas in 2012 enquiring about his full body horse portraits as she was looking to get one painted of her stunning horse Lockhart. Erin had specific requirements about the painting, she wanted a large size so opted for a 36 x 28 inches size canvas. She also asked if Nicholas would be able to paint Lockhart in a full body pose with a studio style background.
Erin had a good idea of how she wanted the portrait and emailed us a few old paintings of horses to show us what she had in mind. Erin had some professional photos taken which she emailed over for Nicholas to work from, her favourite for the main pose was perfect to work from. It took Erin was thrilled with the portrait, as you can see from the emails below.
