Portrait of Jubilee and Trinity
Commission of 'Jubilee and Trinity'
In 2017, Clive Fairclough contacted us about a special portrait commission. He and his wife Jo were moving abroad and had decided to sell their two beloved horses. Their parish wanted to give them a parting gift, and a double portrait in oils was the perfect keepsake.
Clive shared, “We bred two lovely horses… we’ve decided a painting would be good. We like your husband’s style and want an oil painting like your gallery Gatsby, Missy and Moriarty.” Nicholas painted both horses with their plaits in—a lovely nod to their work as hunters—and placed them on a soft plain background to keep the focus on their expressions.
