Horse Pet Paintings – Horse Portraits
A very special horse portrait commission for a very special birthday surprise! This is Kewlia, a beautiful horse captured with a warm, early morning light behind her. The painting was traditionally hand painted in oils on Italian linen canvas by equine artist Nicholas Beall from his dedicated art studio in rural UK. He accepts commissions worldwide and has worked with many prestigious clients over the years. We hope you enjoy reading more about the commission of Kewlia below.
Portrait of Kewlia
Commission of 'Kewlia'
Rosemary Cunningham contacted our studio in 2015 to commission a portrait of her daughter’s horse, Kewlia, as a surprise birthday gift. She telephoned first, then followed up with a wide range of reference photos, one of which you can see below.
Rosemary asked if the background could be enhanced to resemble a bright and sunny early morning. As you can see from the finished portrait, Nicholas achieved this effect beautifully. The painting was completed in oils on linen canvas at 14 x 14 inches.
Client Testimonials – Rosie
“Well I couldn't wait. I met Lucy and her husband for supper and placed the painting on the wall behind me. At first she didn’t see it, then she sat down and said ‘I don’t believe it!’ She was absolutely over the moon. Everyone in the restaurant came over to look and thought it was wonderful. Thank you again – I’ll send you photos of it in situ once they return from Mexico.”
“She arrived safely. I can't tell you how much I love it – you’ve really captured Kewlia. I can't wait to see my daughter’s face when she sees the painting. Her husband, who sent the photo, has been following the progress and thinks it's magnificent. I just love it. Thank you so much!”
