Desert Glory

“The serenity of the desert always draws me to it and when you add the drama of a storm in the evening light, it creates the emotion needed in a landscape.” – Charles Pabst

Experienced and newbie collectors will be delighted to browse through Charles Pabst art. A seasoned painter, Pabst tasted success at 14 when he sold his first painting. The artist recalls journeying across the US with his family as a child, which was how he developed a love for the great outdoors.
