Rhodesian Ridgeback Painting - Pet Portraits
If you're looking to commission a Rhodesian Ridgeback painting, Nicholas Beall is a professional oil portrait artist specialising in dogs, including this beautiful breed. He works closely with you to design your portrait, ensuring the composition truly captures your Ridgebacks’ essence. Nicholas creates a digital mockup for approval before he picks up his brush, and each canvas is custom-made to the client’s preferred size and shape.

About the Commission
Kirsten Timms from the USA contacted us in 2012 with a wonderful photo of her two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Manu and Haka, taken on a family holiday. She wanted a special oil painting to capture the moment forever.
The portrait was created at 30 x 20 inches to allow for plenty of landscape background detail, and it was the perfect size to feature both dogs and the setting beautifully. The result is a stunning, vibrant memory for Kirsten and her family. We've since painted another portrait for them of their twin daughters playing in the garden!

Client Feedback
“Seeing Manu's face coming to life in the painting had me tearing up. I can't wait to see the finished painting!”
– Kirsten
“There is no mistaking them – from Manu's missing toe to Haka's perpetually puzzled expression – they are perfectly captured.”
– Kirsten
