Below it, a small-town street intersection stretches across the lower third with a stop sign, telegraph poles, low buildings, and bare trees. The sky above is extraordinary: a bold, expressive field of blue with pink-orange clouds and thin telegraph wires crossing in every direction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eSally comments: 'High Water has a filmic quality. Maybe it's the shape of this water tower or the absence of people, but I always think of the tripods in War of the Worlds when I look at it. The scene came out of nowhere — we were driving back from Monterey and stopped at the traffic lights in Gonzales when this eerie shape emerged. I quickly took a photograph before the light changed.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eHigh Water is the most urban and unexpected painting in the California collection. Unlike the serene coastal scenes, this painting centers on a striking man-made structure and a quiet town intersection, yet shows the same attention to light and atmosphere that defines the coastal works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 4.0pt 0in 1.5pt 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; color: #8b7332;\"\u003eExhibited in Lumens, Sally Herriott's solo exhibition in Stockholm in 2025, and at the Grünewaldvillan, Saltsjöbaden, 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sally Herriott Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56603040940409,"sku":null,"price":15000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/0295\/3849\/files\/high-water-original-oil-painting-gonzales-california-sally-herriott.jpg?v=1779267759","url":"https:\/\/sallyherriott.com\/products\/high-water-gonzales-california-oil-painting","provider":"Sally Herriott Fine Art ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
