Beagle Oil Pet Portrait

Welcome to our Beagle oil pet portrait of Christopher. This stunning traditional oil painting was hand painted by dog portrait artist Nicholas Beall using Windsor and Newton oils on professionally stretched Italian linen canvas. Nicholas has painted many Beagles over his 28 year career, but Christopher remains one of his personal favourites. Their soft fur and soulful eyes are a perfect match for oil on canvas, and you can see the final scan of the painting below.

The Story Behind Christopher’s Portrait

Dwayne Floyd and his wife Jo, based in the USA, contacted us in 2014 to ask about commissioning a dog portrait of their Beagle, Christopher. He had been a cherished family member for 16 years, and they wanted a lasting tribute in oils.

The portrait was painted from one main reference photo for the pose, along with a selection of other photos to capture his colouring and detail. Originally, Dwayne and Jo considered an outdoor garden background but chose a studio-style setting after viewing examples on our website.

The painting was created at 18 x 14 inches on stretched linen canvas. It was an honour to bring Christopher to life through oils, and even more special when we received heartfelt messages from Dwayne and Jo after receiving the portrait.

"Hello Melanie and Nicholas,
It is perfect! When we looked at the scan we do not see a painting of Christopher, we see Christopher. Please tell Nicholas thank you, and his ability to capture the personality and character from a photograph that I know was not of the best quality is simply astonishing. All I can say is it is perfect and thank you.
Thank you very much,
Dwayne"

"Hello Melanie and Nicholas,
The painting arrived today and we are speechless. We knew it would be of high quality, but to see the painting of our Christopher in person was amazing and very emotional. My wife actually cried upon seeing it. We absolutely love everything about it. Everything about this experience has been perfect, and the packaging of the painting was very professional. We thank you both very much and will send pictures very soon.
Thank You,
Dwayne and Jo Floyd"
