My sister has done it again with this picture of a cockerel. I think it is fantastic. She has captured the very detailed colours in the plumage and the look in the Cockerel’s eye…in some ways it reminds me of the picture of the bull.

This is a portrait of an elderly Dalmation dog. My sister made these comments on her blog.

“…it took around half an hour to get a good shot of him. He is quite an elderly dog and has a little bit of a sad look in his eyes or possibly tired! But with the help of his owner and a few treats we got a good shot which will make a lovely portrait of him. Capturing the right expression is not always as easy and you would think, when you look closely animals have many expressions that are very subtle so patience is required, or food” :)

Easter is coming and easter bunnies are going to be popular so there may be a few more pastel portraits of bunnies that will be added to my sister gallery in the next few weeks.

My sister, Nicole, has launched the website for her new business selling pastel portraits with a special offer of 15% discount.

Nicole’s focus has been on animals so far, but she will take on commissions for people, still life or any subject that you require.

Take a look at the website … I know I am biased because Nicole is my sister but they are really very good portraits. Be the first person to submit an order on the website while the launch offer of 15% is still valid …

My sister, Nicole, has been busy painting my horse, Razz from some photographs that I sent her a couple of weeks ago. After seeing her fantastic portrait of a bull I was really looking forward to seeing this portrait and I am pleased to say that Nicole has not disappointed me – it is fantastic.


Razz - Portrait by Nicole Wright

Razz - Portrait by Nicole Wright

Nicole normally meets the animals that she paints so she can bring the animals personality into the picture. She met Razz back in 2008 when he came 3rd in the Prelim Area Championship at Hartpury so I reminded her a bit about his friendly, gentle and greedy :) personality. It worked … the painting has really captured Razz – I think it is the eyes and, like the bull, the amount of detail on Razz’s face is fantastic.

More paintings by Nicole – both her dogs, her old horse and a friend’s horse.

This photo was taken with a mobile phone. To get better quality pictures my sister is going to invest in a camera to take high quality pictures of her paintings. I will then set up a section of this website with a proper gallery so that her pictures can be seen in high quality. Nicole will then sell her portraits and take on commissions to paint horses, dogs or other pets or animals.

In the mean time, if you would like a portrait of your horse, dog or any other animal please contact my sister by email: nicole@virtuosoukltd.com.

My sister, Nicole, has just sent me this photo of a painting she has just finished of a bull to my mobile phone. I showed the photo to several friends at Billow Farm and everybody loved it. I must admit on my phones screen the painting actually looks like a photo – which is a complement to my sisters painting.

I really like this painting with the bull staring straight at me – threatening but friendly :) The eyes and the detail on the bulls face is fantastic. I think the painting looks like a photo on a mobile phone because of the very detailed variation in the colours of the hair on the bulls face. The painting is extremely popular with everybody who has seen it – at the moment it is in the kitchen but Nicole’s husband would like it for his office. I hope it stays in the kitchen, at least until Xmas, so I can see it.

Nicole is painting Razz at the moment and she hopes to finish it by the weekend. She will send me a photograph when it is complete and get the picture framed as an Xmas present. I am clearing a space on my lounge wall for the painting and I will put the photograph on this web site as soon as I get it.
