Pet Portraits Commission Information
Portrait: 'Zeus' with Mottled Background.
Size & Medium: 24 x 18 Oils on Gallery Wrap Linen Canvas.
Commissioned from: USA.
This portrait was commissioned by a client in the US who asked if we would paint two portraits for him, one of his dog Zeus in a landscape scene, full body and one as a head study which you can see here - Zeus Portrait. This is Zeus in a landscape scene, you can see the photos Nick worked from further down the page. Nick used a fairly limited pallet in this painting and the overall effects ares stunning. we have added this painting into our framing gallery so you can view larger images of this painting framed and I have also added photos below framed too. 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 Pet 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 Pet 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 too.

I am so glad I chose you for these portraits of Zeus. The paintings look astonishing. I will cherish these forever. At first I loved the head study more but after seeing the landscape take form, I am blown away. I am recommending your work to anyone that loves their pet. I can't wait to get these keepsakes.
Thanks so much!!
