Forest Maiden

“This Navajo maiden holds her red serape tight to protect her from the chill on this crisp autumn morning.” – Charles Pabst

Vacationers and city dwellers will find that Lake Tahoe is more than just a picturesque location for adventure and exploration. It is also a popular destination for art enthusiasts and budding collectors who venture here to visit the Marcus Ashley Gallery. The Californian gallery houses some of the world’s most prized collections, from Michelangelo and Dr. Seuss to Steve Barton and 2Wild. Here is where you can revel in Charles Pabst art, which will assuage your appetite for impressionist paintings.

In Forest Maiden, the artist paints a Navajo maiden on a noble steed in the middle of a mesmerizing clearing in the woods. The maiden traverses through the forest, enjoying the fresh, crisp autumn air while a sparkling waterfall trickles in the distance over boulders as it meets the river below. Pabst relies on complementary pastel and bold hues that elevate the season’s earthy tones.

The artist is well-known for his uncanny ability to mimic the intensity of light and shadows with real-life precision. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Pabst reveals the magnetic beauty of nature in Forest Maiden.
