Chiricahua Waters

“Passion is the emotion I bring to my artwork. Painting is the medium I use to express myself, and I love doing it.” – Charles Pabst

Lake Tahoe is a charming destination that boasts of the most scenic and beautiful views in California. A mutual love for art and the Sierra Nevadas convinced patrons to open the Marcus Ashley Gallery in Lake Tahoe. Besides its expansive collection of Charles Pabst art, the gallery is also home to the works of emerging and established talent. Pabst’s landscape paintings are true masterpieces that reanimate the beauty of the places he visits.

In Chiricahua Waters, the artist paints the impressive Arizona region with its sparkling waters and unique topography. In the distance, the historic Chiricahua Mountains lie silent in the warm sunlight. A tribesman on horseback scans the land as he traverses the shallow creek. It appears as if the mountains and the tribesman stand guard, watching over what feels like a magical place.

Pabst relies on meticulous brushwork to create a delicate blend of pigments. Hazy washes of violet, gold, and gray diffuse the canvas with a surreal finish — creating a symphony of man, animal, and nature in complete harmony. Chiricahua Waters is the perfect piece to display in a quaint or chic home, restaurant, tavern, bar, or lounge.
