Two Dozen Roses

“My wife and I enjoyed a romantic dinner in this little cafe at the bottom of the historic Rialto Bridge in Venice. Next—a gondola ride.” – Charles Pabst

The patrons of the Marcus Ashley Gallery are proud to be associated with some of the greatest minds in the art world. Together they make a formidable team of experts who understand the nuances of art. For over 18 years, the gallery has welcomed several notable personalities, private collectors, and artists through its doors. Here is where one can find a remarkable selection of fine exhibits, including Charles Pabst art.

The artist reveals a soft side of himself in this limited-edition titled Two Dozen Roses. Plump, cherry red roses fill the canvas with vibrant energy and life. As if plucked the very same day, the fresh wild bouquet sits pretty in a glass vase, its lovely leaves and tiny buds making stunning fillers for the velveteen roses. Pabst recalls sitting down for an intimate dinner with his wife in a Venetian cafe before they take off for a gondola ride.

Thick swirls and smears of paint leave behind visible brushstrokes, creating an eyecatching smorgasbord of rich value, texture, and form. Two Dozen Roses is the perfect still-life painting to mount in a tea room, library, boutique, reading nook, or dining area.
