Buckhorn Canyon

“I’m a pretty direct artist. I’ll start right at the top, and I have an idea in my mind. And I’ll just attack the canvas, literally, just get paint on it and go. Usually working on a background up to the foreground. Getting my lights on, and then finally, working on the details.” – Charles Pabst

A trip to Marcus Ashley Gallery will prove worthwhile for urbanites, country club managers, and high-end hotel owners in the hunt for the perfect conversation starter. Being in South Lake Tahoe is a treat in itself, and the gallery’s enviable assemblage of Charles Pabst art would end their search.

Pabst’s oil paintings feature magnificent landscapes of Southwestern America, and canyons are one of his recurring themes. Buckhorn Canyon belongs to this lot. The mystical quality of lighting that he imbues in the scenery makes the sweeping landscape much more magnificent. Likewise, his play on contrasting dark and light colors rendered with bold strokes blend unbelievably to create a harmonious picture.

Art lovers and collectors will be grateful to Pabst for sharing such a spectacle which only a few are blessed to view in real life. Buckhorn Canyon is the perfect testament to  Pabst’s mastery over light and shadow. It is available for purchase at the Marcus Ashley Gallery, which provides free shipping worldwide.
