Navajo Shawl

“I often travel with my wife and children to explore, photograph, and paint the diverse panorama of the American West.” – Charles Pabst

The Marcus Ashley Gallery is a prime location for avid and novice collectors to view and buy Charles Pabst art. Countrysides, meadows, and riversides often feature in the artist’s landscape paintings. He is drawn to their rich histories and his paintings are a way to tell their stories. It is why so many of his pieces have an old Western charm or cultural reference that transports viewers to a time gone by. Pabst is also known to experiment with other subjects that capture a significant moment or place.

In Navajo Shawl, Pabst paints a tribal woman riding a noble steed through an ethereal forest clearing. Her lovely silver-streaked hair catches in the warm sunshine as she makes her way downstream, her calm demeanor shining through the canvas. Her shawl catches the eye, its distinct embroidery a testament to the Navajo’s exquisite weaving skills. She holds the shawl close to her body to ward off the nippy autumn air.

The delicate brushwork leaves behind a tapestry of autumn-inspired hues. Interested buyers will love how Navajo Shawl imbues a space with character and positivity.
