No Time Like the Present, © 2014 Sheryl Karas |
My current home of Chico, CA is a small town-like city surrounded by almond orchards. It's very pleasant and friendly but when I painted this painting I was feeling homesick for Santa Cruz, CA, where I used to live. The clock is a reference to the clock tower in Santa Cruz but it is on a Chico-like house to remind me to be here now. I challenged myself to use bold colors of red, yellow, teal green and purple. I was inspired by the Fauves and pop art artists like Andy Warhol and Peter Max.
The original acrylic painting on canvas is 18" x 24" and is
currently available for sale.
