Abigail DunnivanThe Buddy System - Horse Pastel Painting Equine Western Photorealism
About the Item
"The Buddy System" Is a photo-realistic pastel painting by Abigail Dunnivan. The painting depicts a duo of horses, one black and one chestnut, tacked in traditional vaquero gear. It is a sunny day at the Rancher's Rodeo competition in Carmel Valley, California. Calmly awaiting their turn in the lineup, the chestnut munches on a sprig of dry grass whilst the black horse observes the performances of their competitors.
Abigail Is a California Bay Area native who specializes in a realistic style with soft pastels. Armed with her trusty camera, she photographs her subjects as often as possible. She enjoys the unique adventures that come with that practice. Abby sketches her works freehand, providing the opportunity to design the movement, shape, and even the personality of her subjects. Pastels lend themselves beautifully to a lengthy layering process. At times Abby must apply five to ten layers of medium to achieve the effect she desires. Soft transitions and sharp details are employed to create a true-to-life product.
Abigail sees horses as fascinating subjects because they combine majesty, honesty and bravery. She has said, "Horses are relational yet spiritual animals that possess the power to touch people on an emotional level."

- Gliding by Clark MitchellLocated in Morgan Hill, CACreated by California based artist, Clark Mitchell, Gliding is an invigorating pastel painting of a sublime shoreside of a pond featuring an enigmatic array of greens, blues, violets, and oranges, with some palm trees, ducks and swans in the middle ground. Growing up in the shadow of the Rockies, Clark Mitchell very early discovered a love of the natural world. Given a set of fine old German pastels by his father when quite young, he quickly embraced the medium for its ease of handling, brilliance of color and portability. He received a bachelor’s degree in art from Colorado College in the seventies and moved to San Francisco to continue his studies at the Academy of Art College. Through personal exploration as well as study with artists Albert Handell, Skip Whitcomb, Michael Lynch and Bill Hook, Mitchell has developed the talent to create both tightly rendered scenes as well as looser, more abstract suggestions. In order to fully immerse himself in the countryside he loved to portray, Mitchell left San Francisco with his partner over thirty years ago and moved north to the beautiful Sonoma County wine country...Category
