Pistachio - Finished

Marianne has finished Pistachio (for now). She will be taking this painting with her to Lesley’s workshop in March for critique, so it may change more after that.
So…here he is! I think that Pistachio looks great. You’ve captured him nicely and the markings are just right!

I have always been fascinated with this painting by Lesley. I could stare at it for HOURS and swear that it was a photograph! The details are incredible and the rocks look so real that you could reach in a pick them up! It amazes me how so many of Lesley’s paintings are so life-like and can convey so much emotion.

From Lesley’s Webmaster:
This is not one of Lesley’s “in progress” paintings, but it is from one of her dedicated students - Marianne Harris. Marianne is also a frequent visitor to this Blog.
This is Pistachio and he’s my Gypsy Cob. Marianne is using one of my husband’s photos as a reference image. My husband and I both believe that she has really captured Pistachio’s personality! (Note: This is one of two images that Marianne sent me. I can post the other one, as well, if you’d like!)
Marianne wants to emphasize that the painting is still in progress. She will be adding some light images of trees in a yellow sunset. Marianne welcomes your feedback, comments, and suggestions!
