Cocker Spaniel Portrait – Oil Painting
Welcome to our working Cocker Spaniel portrait of Wilf. This traditionally hand-painted oil portrait was created by professional artist Nicholas Beall. Nicholas accepts commissions from all over the world and has painted many spaniels over the years. If you’d like a portrait of your Cocker Spaniel, whether for yourself or as a special gift, feel free to email us your photos. We’d love to chat through your ideas.

Commission of Wilf
Steve Hocking from the UK contacted us in 2018 to commission a portrait of his much-loved Cocker Spaniel, Wilf. Sadly, Wilf had passed away, but Steve had several lovely photos, one of which stood out as the perfect pose for a 12 x 12 inch oil painting on Italian linen canvas.
Steve intended it as a surprise birthday present for his wife, Maureen. Nicholas suggested a neutral background that would enhance Wilf’s soft curls and allow his expressive eyes to stand out. The result was a warm, natural piece that truly captured Wilf’s character.
