Portrait of Stella
About the Commission of ‘Stella’
This portrait was commissioned by Richard Bedford as a surprise for his wife, Sally Anne. The scene was to show their lovely Doberman, Stella, sitting in the garden of their holiday cottage in Wales — complete with blooming wisteria over the doorway. It was a truly idyllic and meaningful image, and a beautiful way to remember Stella.
Nicholas painted the portrait in oils on Italian linen canvas at 18x14 inches, a perfect size to capture all the detail and personality in Stella’s pose. Scroll down to see the painting framed and read their heartfelt feedback.
