Oil Painting Horse Portraits – CC Top
Welcome to our oil painting of CC Top, a stunning horse portrait hand-painted by Nicholas Beall. Nicholas specializes in traditional oil horse portraits, working from clients' favorite photos to create lasting memories on canvas. This commission was a wonderful opportunity to capture a dynamic moment of horse and rider mid-jump, and you can read all about it below.
Commission of CC Top
Jeanne Eriksen contacted us in 2014 to commission an oil painting horse portrait of her son’s horse, CC Top. Jeanne, who lives in the Isle of Man, wanted the finished painting to be sent to Norway, where her son and CC Top were based and competing together. She sent a selection of photos, and one stood out as the perfect pose for the portrait.
The composition was carefully adjusted to remove any distractions and enhance the overall balance of the scene. The portrait was painted at 22 x 16 inches using traditional oils on Italian linen canvas.
