Grandma’s House

“This painting was inspired while on tour with a Navajo guide who took us to his grandmother’s home in Monument Valley. The humble hogan compliments the majestic setting.” – Charles Pabst

Avid fans and novice collectors alike take a keen interest in Charles Pabst art and the stunning landscapes most of his paintings depict. Pabst paints not only to capture an unraveling scene but also to invite viewers to experience the serenity and power of nature’s beauty. His scenes will leave you humbled and in awe of the world.

Grandma’s House portrays the unrestrained, faultless beauty of Navajo Nation’s Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Pabst paints a traditional hogan home amidst a landscape of intriguing geologic wonders. Buttes, mesas, and towering sandstone structures occupy the desert, with wild shrubbery and windblown sand adding to the valley’s natural appeal. Tufts of marshmallow clouds gather in the distance while sheep calmly graze below.

The artist injects the scene with palpable warmth, making Grandma’s House a must-have gem. Soothing hues of violet and moss green add an uplifting contrast to the tones of beige and limestone. Grandma’s House beautifully underscores the natural spectacles that make the outdoors so appealing.
