Commission of 'Newman'

Heather Bristow from the USA got in touch to commission a portrait of their gorgeous dog, Newman. In her first email, Heather said: “My husband has been asking for a portrait from you for years!” – we knew straight away this was going to be a special commission.

Heather sent over a number of photos of Newman, including some lovely live iPhone shots of their family. One image stood out immediately – a beautiful pose of Newman by the window with natural light pouring in. Nicholas knew it would make a stunning painting, and Heather wholeheartedly agreed.

The portrait was painted at 18 x 14 inches in oils on Italian linen canvas – the perfect size to capture all the detail in Newman’s soulful expression. Scroll down to see the close-ups and the framed portrait in situ.
