The Coming Storm

“Because of the wide vistas of most desert terrain, storms can be seen rolling in even at great distances, providing a panorama of nature’s awesome power.” – Charles Pabst

Lake Tahoe is a renowned source of inspiration for artists, writers, and illustrators who revel in her beauty from season to season. It’s no wonder that the Marcus Ashley Gallery chose this idyllic location to set up its unequivocally exquisite collections. Many visitors will find themselves awestruck by the Charles Pabst art on display. The artist often paints from memory, recreating scenes with precision, care, and passion.

Pabst creates The Coming Storm with his quintessential style and approach to painting. Spontaneous yet careful brushstrokes fill the canvas with uplifting hues that elevate the natural beauty of this plain, leaving behind a mesmerizing play of light and shadows across the medium.

The cacti stand tall and unmoving as if outstretched towards the heavens to welcome the oncoming storm. The ominous clouds roll and clash overhead, leaving swirls of mist in its wake. Pabst expertly demonstrates the power of nature as seen from an unobstructed view of the open sky.

The Coming Storm is a must-have painting for a contemporary or boho-inspired residential or commercial space.
