Portrait of Amba and Maddie
About the Commission
Neil reached out to us in 2017 to commission a portrait of Amba and Maddie as a special birthday gift for his wife Jackie. He gave us plenty of notice, and we were delighted to complete the portrait in time for the big day in January 2018.
The painting was created from photos taken in the field where the dogs regularly run. Nicholas enhanced the overcast sky to introduce a little blue and brightness, while keeping the scene realistic. The final portrait, sized at 20 x 20 inches, was a heartfelt and emotional surprise for Jackie.
