Summer Solitude

“Swollen creeks bring the fisherman out where he can escape the bustling city for the solitude of nature, in Summer Solitude.” – Charles Pabst

Art aficionados find themselves spending hours on end at the Marcus Ashley Gallery. The collections on display, including Charles Pabst art, are a feast for the senses. You’ll experience moments of peace, joy, and wonder as you explore the sculptures, paintings, and limited-edition prints at the gallery. Take home a piece that speaks to you and allow it to transform a room into a special place.

At first glance, Summer Solitude projects an overwhelming sense of tranquility and deep reverence for the beauty of nature. Pabst depicts a perfect day when the creeks are abundant with seasonal aquatic life. The fisherman takes advantage of this by venturing into the woods for a round of fishing. This scene is framed by a generous display of fir trees that melt into the shadows in the distance.

The artist goes in with thick smears of paint using a palette knife before adding intricate details with a brush as the piece develops. Summer Solitude will create a happy, inviting space for one to unwind in.
