Nicholas worked from his dedicated studio nestled in his woodland garden in Wales, UK.

Commission of 'Tabatha' - Cat Painting in Oil on Canvas

Pet portraits reference photos

David Clifford, UK, contacted Nicholas in 2013 to ask if he would be able to paint his beautiful cat Tabatha. David sent a CD full of superb photos of Tabatha.

Ideally Nicholas usually paints from one main photo for the pose, however in this instance Nicholas used the chosen facial photo with one for ears and chest to help. Tabatha was painted on Italian Linen Canvas at 18 x 14 size and David was thrilled with the outcome.

Photos of the painting framed can bee seen below, along with photos of the plaque David ordered to accompany the painting.

We love having plaques made for our clients as it really allows the portrait to be personalized and unique. David sent some fantastic emails during and after the process, two of which you can read below.


Happy Client Testimonials

We received a lovely email from David about the painting....

Hi Melanie & Nicholas,
Just to let you know I'm really thrilled about how Tabatha's portrait is coming along. Tabatha is very hard to recreate in oils and Nicholas is doing a fantastic, first rate job, really pleased with the portrait. Well done Nicholas and thanks for all the hard work you put into Tabatha's portrait so far. The portrait is going to look fantastic once completed and framed. If I ever want another portrait of Tabatha done or of another pet Nicholas and Melanie will be the only pet portrait artists I will consider doing the job from now on, their work is outstanding, so beautiful and realistic.
Best Wishes,
David Clifford.
