Cat Portraits - Cat Oil Portrait
Welcome to the cat oils portrait of Ginny. Nicholas Beall completed this beautiful painting for returning customer Gary White (USA). All of the oil paintings are completed by Nicholas in our lovely studio in our woodland garden. It is the perfect place to create and paint. The cat portrait of Ginny was created in our studio by Nicholas and was traditionally hand painted in oils on linen canvas. The following page gives a broad overview of the commission and we hope you enjoy reading all about it and seeing the photos.
Commission of 'Ginny'- Cat Oil Portraits
This cat oils portrait was commissioned in 2012 by returning client Gary White, USA. Gary has been commissioning Nicholas to paint his animals over the years and this commission was to portray their beautiful cat called Ginny Girl who had sadly passed away. Gary asked Nicholas if he would paint Ginny Girl on a 12 x 10 sized canvas in traditional oils, to match his other paintings.
Gary emailed us some beautiful photos of Ginny, one Nicholas used as the main pose and another for detail and colouring. Where possible we are always happy to combine photos to help create the perfect portrait for our clients. The portrait was very well received by Gary and his family and will hopefully serve as a lovely memory for their family and friends who knew Ginny Girl very well.
I have added a few photos of the progress of the portrait below, along with some reference photos of Ginny and a testimonial from Gary. I have also added a photo of the portrait framed along with a plaque which says 'Ginny Girl'. s
Happy Client Testimonials
We received a wonderful testimonial from Gary and Barb....
Thanks Melanie. Tell Nicholas, as I've said before, that I marvel at his talent .... and yours. An artist friend of mine who paints wildlife for US postage stamps, saw your work and was very impressed. I do expect to commission you all further in time to do some other pets of ours.
GaryMelanie & Nicholas,
All sounds good. I can't really see anything Nicholas needs to change, I love the shading and color definitions he did on the final. Ginny was/is a regal little girl and the painting captures her pretty face very, very well. Tell Nicholas I appreciate his artistic efforts.
Cat Oil Portraits - Cat Painting Framed
The oil painting of Ginny was framed in a black and silver frame which worked well with Ginny's coat colouring.
