Evening Vespers

“I take great pleasure in sharing my view of the world with others. I want to give joy and happiness to other people.” – Charles Pabst

At the heart of Heavenly Village in Lake Tahoe lies the renowned Marcus Ashley Gallery. The establishment has been in business for over 18 years and showcases the works of local, national, and global artists. Along the walkways of its mammoth interiors, one will find the riveting Charles Pabst art. The artist employs a unique approach and style that marries pigmented hues and thoughtful details with flawless brushwork and inspiring narratives.

Evening Vespers is a prime example of Pabst’s love for places of worship that hold a charm and energy of their own. This painting will sit beautifully on a wall with similar church-themed pieces by the artist.

The artist reveals a historic stone church in a quaint corner of a town square in this painting. A churchgoer walks through the hallowed doorway in time for evening prayer. Candlelights glow from within the edifice, shedding light on the aging yet strong roofed structure. You can almost hear the ringing of the bells reverberate through the square. As a final touch, Pabst paints a smattering of roses that light up the canvas in vivid contrast to the muted hues of Evening Vespers.
