Aliso Beach

“The pull of the ocean is in my bones. Growing up in California, I would spend long summer hours skiff boarding, exploring, and enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the ocean.” – Charles Pabst

A hidden gem in South Lake Tahoe, Marcus Ashley Gallery is a hotspot for art lovers from all over the world. And for a good reason. Within its halls is an enviable collection of paintings from world renowned artists, including California natives who have carved a name for themselves in the highest echelons of art history. Among them is Charles Pabst, the impressionist recognized for his depictions of the western American landscape.

Aliso Beach is one of the most popular Charles Pabst art pieces. He painted this scene while visiting his hometown of Laguna Beach in Santa Clara. Influenced by artists like Russel Swan, famous for the scenes of Monterey Wharf and Cannery Row, this work demonstrates Pabst’s consistent passion for illustrating the beauty of nature.

His subject matter and style have continued to change throughout his career that has spanned more than four decades, but this sentiment has remained. Aliso Beach will garner a lot of attention whether displayed in a residential or commercial space.
