Description
Claire lives in the New Forest, and has always been inspired by and loves the Forest its ponies and wildlife. She loves to capture the moods and emotions of the animals in her paintings, and this ability leads her to produce beautiful, life like, true to character portraits of pets and equines alike. Her love of animals allows Claire to understand the individuality and strength of character in our animals, and always aims to reflect this in the portrait.
Commission based animal portraiture is the main concentration of her work, but she is also producing original works aimed towards producing prints to sell to a wider market. These originals will be displayed and for sale at bi-annual exhibitions. Dates and locations will be updated on the web site when announced. You can join the mailing list to be notified.
The prints are available online, and through local outlets such as the New Forest Museum. There is a fully equiped framing workshop in house with all types of framing or reframing available.
A number of past portraits are on view on her website link above, as is a price guide, although individual needs can be discussed Claire likes to meet the subject personally and take her own photos, although obviously this is not always possible, good clear photographs are usually fine to work from.

Kathryn Dalziel – professional painter specialising in horse and animal portraits. www.kathryndalziel.com tel:01725 510135.
Having studied Fine Art at university where she won two National design awards, Kathryn furthered her passion for painting and classical portraiture in Florence, where she was taught the methods of the old masters.
This classical training taught her the painting and drawing methods of the leading Parisian ateliers of the nineteenth century: Using the sight-size method Kathryn is able to capture a close portrayal of expression, spatial depth and an altogether more three dimensional image; a method that was used from the beginning of the seventeenth century by many of the finest oil painters, including Reynolds, Lawrence and Sargent.
Kathryn’s many successful exhibitions include The Winchester Guildhall Gallery, Salisbury Swaynes House Studio, Salisbury City Hall, The Picturehouse Gallery in Poundbury, Dorchester, The Leighton Art Gallery in Weymouth, Grant & Gower International dealers in fine art and the Mary Cruz Gallery, Bath. Included in her commissioned work are the oil painting of Lord Paddy Ashdown, the pastel drawings of the children of the Earl and Countess of Pembroke and 14 oil portraits of the Knatchbull Hugessen family.
"My inspiration is taken from life and my classical training has given me a solid foundation for individual expression and style. I work towards capturing form and life-like portrayals with depth, movement, mood and expression My study of the human form and knowledge of animal anatomy and movement is an invaluable tool to help me portray personality and character with accurate drawing skill.
Several years ago I was selected as resident artist at the Spanish School of Riding in Vienna and spent the summer sketching and painting the magical Lipizzaner horses in ‘the most beautiful riding hall in the world’. Inspired by the movement and ability of these amazing horses I went on to visit the Lipizzaner stud at Piber in the Austrian mountains to paint the horses running free in their natural environment. I am still working on some of this collection and two of the finished Lipizzaner paintings are on show here."
