Welcome to the cat portraits oil painting of Dudley. Nicholas Beall is a professional cat portrait artist and specialises in oil paintings on canvas of cats for commission. All of the oil paintings are traditionally hand painted by himself standing at an ease in our garden studio in Wales, UK. He creates portraits for clients far and wide around the globe. The portrait of Dudley was created for clients in Scotland and you can read all about Dudley and see photos of the painting progress below.
The portrait of Dudley was commissioned as a surprise gift for Kirstie and her husband Gordon in Scotland, UK.
Kirsite received one of our gift vouchers and once received she could decide on the exact kind of portrait she wanted. Kirstie opted for an oil painting and knew the exact photo that she wanted portrait, which you can see above.
The painting is a 14 x 14 oil portrait, traditionally hand painted by Nicholas Beall. Sadly Dudley passed away during the commissioning process, so this painting will serve to be a wonderful reminder to both Kirsite and her husband Gordon who miss him dreadfully.

Gordon and Kirstie sent a lovely email and called us personally...
Dear Melanie and Nicholas,
I know you will be relieved to hear that your beautifully packaged parcel has just arrived safely and we have Dudley up on the wall just where we had planned. He is absolutely stunning and we are thrilled!
The frame has been a really good choice, perfect colours and not too heavy and we noticed how beautifully it has been finished even to the thoughtful addition of felt pads at the back. Again, very many thanks to you both for all your thoughtful care, attention and amazing talent which have combined to make this commission a huge success.
Best wishes to you both,
Gordon & Kirstie x
