Bougainvillea Arch

“Each day I get up and paint. Art is work, but I love it and so it seems more like play. I feel very blessed to have been able to spend my life doing what I love.” – Charles Pabst

Marcus Ashley Gallery proudly holds the distinction of hosting the largest collection of Charles Pabst art—a collection of impressionist oil paintings of dramatic landscapes. These illustrations are enchanting statement pieces suitable for the receiving room of an elegant urban home, the lobby of a five-star hotel, or a function room of an exclusive restaurant. They exude an aura of calm sought by residents and guests in such places.

In Bougainvillea Arch, Pabst satisfies this yearning with a theme that recurs in many of his works – a religious reference. In what appears to be the entrance to a convent, the artist masterfully executes the lovely disparity between pastel pigments on the ground, sky and tree leaves, and the dark tints on the door and flowers. His passionate brushstrokes compliment the emotion evoked by the inviting gateway standing ajar, with a cross above serving as a reminder that all are welcome here.

Nature lovers will relate to this piece and the emotions it conveys. Bougainvillea Arch can be custom framed on request in person or online by the gallery.
