About the Commission
Luke’s full name is Ch Nireno Luke Skywalker – a proper title for such a regal boy! His owner Suzanna commissioned this 16 x 12 inch oil portrait after capturing a fantastic photo of him. She wanted the background to reflect Luke’s Welsh roots, so we used her photos of Llyn Brianne as inspiration for the landscape.
Nicholas thoroughly enjoyed working on this piece – landscapes are a joy for him to paint, especially when paired with such a noble subject. Luke’s warm coat tones and alert expression worked beautifully against the tranquil Welsh hills.
And the best bit? Luke came to collect his painting in person. Yes, really. Scroll down to see him visiting our studio and posing proudly beside his portrait!
