Artist Charles Pabst entitled "Arizona Morning" signed lower right. Image measures 28 1/2" x 23 1/2". In rustic wood frame with gold and linen insets. Brass plaque on frame reads 'Arizona Morning, Charles H. Pabst'. A native of Santa Clara, California, Charles H. Pabst had an appreciation for all things cultural – art, music and theater, and at an early age Charles picked up his grandmother’s watercolor paints and began painting what he saw. As a young boy, his family traveled extensively and Charles continues to travel around the world, studying the landscapes and culture of the people, taking photographs of different scenes that capture his interest. Charles likes to keep his paints clean by using two pallets. He will keep his paints on one, and mix on the other. He uses a combination of pallet knife and brush. Typically he’ll lay in the entire painting’s background and sky first. Then he has to let that dry before he lays in the foreground. It may be days or months later before he gets back to it. He finishes it off with highlights of light and shadow to bring out the drama in the picture. He has paintings in several public and private collections and has received many awards in Arizona and California. From the Bill A. Gary estate Prescott, AZ.
