Hungarian Vizsla Pet Portrait Painting – Hattie
Welcome to our Hungarian Vizsla portrait painting of Hattie, hand-painted in oils on Italian linen canvas by professional British artist Nicholas Beall. Nicholas accepts commissions worldwide and paints a limited number each year. With over 20 years of experience, he guarantees a perfect likeness, capturing every detail and expression. If you’re looking for a timeless portrait of your Vizsla, we’d love to hear from you.
Commission of Hattie
This Hungarian Vizsla portrait was commissioned by Charlie Clever in the UK. Charlie contacted us to commission a portrait of her partner’s dog Hattie as a surprise birthday gift. Fortunately, her partner Simon is a talented hobby photographer, so we were sent a stunning collection of high-quality reference images. Nicholas worked from one main photo for the pose and used the others for color and detail references.
The portrait was completed in oils at 16 x 12 inches and sent in good time for the birthday surprise in March 2011. Nicholas thoroughly enjoyed painting Hattie — it remains one of our all-time favorite oil portraits.
Client Testimonial – Charlie Clever
“Oh I absolutely love it!! I can't tell you how pleased I am... Nicholas really has captured her so well. I can't wait to see the real thing and give it to Simon – he's going to be over the moon! I can't believe I have to wait until the end of March!! I've had a look at the blog which is brilliant, I’m just so excited!! Thanks so much, I'm so pleased I asked you to paint it :)”
