Portrait of Amosite
About the Commission
Mark Goddard contacted us in 2014 to commission an oil painting of his wife’s racehorse Amosite as a surprise birthday gift. To keep the gift secret, all communication was done from Mark’s work. The painting was created at 20 x 16 inches on Italian linen canvas.
Mark wanted Amosite portrayed in a particular rug, which required Nicholas to reference multiple photos. The resulting composition captures not just Amosite but also the chilly, misty atmosphere of the racetrack with its vibrant lights and activity. Mark and his wife Claire were thrilled with the result, as you’ll read below.
