Cat Portraits - Cat Pet Portrait in Oil
Welcome to the beautiful oil painting of Purdy. Nicholas Beall specialises in painting cats for commission and has been for the last 25 years. His chosen medium is oils on Italian linen canvas and feels that it is the perfect colour medium to portray cats with - perfect for depicting their beautiful soft fur. We hope that you enjoy reading all about Purdy and also seeing photos of our clients with the painting - and Nicholas too.
Commission of 'Purdy' - Cat Pet Portraits in Oil
The cat pet portrait in oil of Purdy was commissioned by Alan and Amanda Siddall, UK in 2014. Sadly Purdy is no longer with us so were unable to take photos specifically for the oil painting, however they had one stunning photo of Purdy which was perfect for a portrait. Alan and Amanda decided that 12 x 10 would be the perfect size for Purdy too.
Nicholas wanted to create warmth within the painting along with a soft focus background and I think he has achieved this beautifully. The background gives the essence of Purdy being outside in the garden, however the colour doesn't overpower the scene. It allows Purdy to take centre stage.
Alan visited our art studio to collect both the portrait of Purdy and the second portrait he commissioned of Milly and Molly. You can see a few photos of the portrait framed in the beautiful Ornate frame with inner slip and some photos of Alan and Nicholas with the paintings below.
