Heat of the Storm

“I’ll probably be painting for the rest of my life. I don’t plan on retiring. I don’t want to retire. I don’t want to end up on the golf course. Besides, I’m not very good at golf.” – Charles Pabst

Adventure seekers and outdoor fanatics agree that Lake Tahoe is an idyllic getaway from the frenetic city life. It’s a fantastic place to explore nature’s hidden and exposed beauty. From scenic hiking trails to immaculate beaches, there’s plenty to see in and around Lake Tahoe. The Marcus Ashley Gallery is situated in this picturesque Sierra Nevada region. The renowned gallery is known for its collection of Charles Pabst art and other exquisite exhibits by artists from around the world.

In Heat of the Storm, Pabst strays from his regular landscapes and experiments with the abstract, giving his vivid imagination free reign. He layers the canvas with thick smears of paint in burnt orange, rust-brown, and citrusy tones to creatively depict the intensity and power of a brewing storm.

Fans will agree that Pabst enjoys highlighting seasonal changes that bring a palpable energy to his scenes, as depicted in Heat of the Storm. Mount it on a wall and imagine being swept up by the sheer strength of nature’s unpredictable forces.
