Equine Portraits – Oil Painting of Ariel
Paintings of horses looking over the stable door are a popular pose for a reason – it’s how we often see our beautiful horses day-to-day, gazing out from the yard. Nicholas Beall has painted many of these kinds of portraits, and **Ariel’s** painting is a standout. The dark background sets off her rich coloring perfectly. Scroll down to discover more about the commission and see photos of the portrait in our client’s home – with the family who commissioned it.
About the Commission of Ariel
Eleanor and her family commissioned this portrait of their stunning horse Ariel as a surprise Christmas gift for Eleanor’s mum in 2015. Eleanor had the perfect photo – Ariel peering over her stable door – and requested a bespoke 13 x 16 inch canvas to match an existing painting in their home. We’re always happy to accommodate custom sizes, and our canvas maker here in the UK creates each canvas by hand to order.
The finished painting was beautifully framed in a gold swept frame and completed with a bespoke engraved plaque. We work with a UK-based engraving company to provide silver or bronze plaques, which many clients choose to add that final personal touch.
Client Testimonial
“Mum absolutely loves the painting! :) Here are some photos of the painting where it is at the moment. We aren’t sure whether we’re going to keep it here or put it somewhere else in the house, but I thought I should send through some photos anyway :) Thanks so much again for everything!”
“Just seen the photos and video and it looks stunning! Very excited to see it! It’s being delivered to work instead of home to avoid Mum seeing it before the day. I’ll let you know that it arrives safely and will hopefully send through some photos of us and Mum with it!”

The Portrait Displayed
We were thrilled when Eleanor sent us photos of the painting in situ after Christmas. It’s always wonderful to see our portraits in their new homes, completing the full circle of the commission.
