Own a spectacular work of original art and see your investment skyrocket

 

"Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one."
— Stella Adler

 

Above is a small sampling of Wild Cherry Art pieces that live in permanent homes across the globe and will increase in value!

 

Do you own a piece of Wild Cherry Art? I am thrilled to tell you its value will increase this Fall! So far, I'm participating in nine shows this year. I'm creating so much new work that I can feel myself growing! I'm grateful that my collector list is rapidly expanding. After I attend the residency in France this September, followed by a show in Paris, the prices of Wild Cherry Art will go up.

Why now? Demand has increased, and the cost of everything has nearly tripled. The silver lining is that this is excellent news if you own a piece of Wild Cherry Art. If you've been thinking about purchasing a painting, now would be a great time to buy. You'll own a spectacular new work of art, and your investment will grow automatically in October 2024. Make an appointment to meet me in my studio by clicking the button below.

I'll honor my current commission fees, but they will increase after October as well, so if budget is on your mind, make the appointment for a discovery call right now to discuss your dream project!

See you soon,
Leslie

How about giving something uplifting, uniquely crafted, and meaningful?

 

“Oh, Christmas isn’t just a day; it’s a frame of mind.”
—Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street

 
 

The Wild Cherry Art Holiday open house was super fun! It was cold and dreary outside and warm and wonderful inside. Sadra Charlap, guest artist extraordinaire, and I were grateful to share so many laughs, smiles, and sparkles with everyone who stopped by. I don't mess around with decorations; I go all in! So it's a Wild Cherry pink winter wonderland. See for yourself; make an appointment to visit the studio for the holidays. Revel in the decor, see the new paintings, celebrate the season with me. Bring friends, and we'll make it a party! If you're looking for holiday cheer, I've got loads to share.

While you’re visiting, you can finish up your holiday shopping. I have many beautiful pieces to delight and inspire everyone on your list. We can all use something uplifting, so give your special someone a uniquely crafted and thoughtful gift. They don't need random stuff; they want meaningful things. Cherries remind us that life is filled with pits and stems and also that sweet, delicious, juicy fruit. Focus on the good stuff with a vibrant cherry painting! You can't find my work on Amazon, but you can find it here, on my website or in person.

 

Wanna feel uplifted, excited, sensual and nurtured? Add this to your life.

 

“Pink isn't just a color. It's an attitude too.”
—Miley Cyrus

 
 

Magenta is vibrant, joyful, and fun. It also has a bit of badass in it. It's rooted in red and pulsating in pink—my two favorite colors! So, of course, I'm thrilled about Pantone's choice for color of the year, Viva Magenta 18-1750. I love all the warm hues, from sweet baby pink to sexy cherry red. They make frequent appearances in my paintings. Depending on the shade and value, pinks and reds can be uplifting and exciting as well as sensual and nurturing. These warm colors are very luxurious and I love that too!

Our culture is fully embracing the color pink. Have you noticed? And now that we are approaching Valentine's Day, it's in full bloom. If you'd like to get a meaningful, original gift for yourself or someone else special, Click the images above or the button below to learn more about this collection of pink and red paintings and limited edition prints.

“Viva Magenta PANTONE 18-1750 reconnects us to original matter. Invoking the forces of nature, Viva Magenta galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength.”
—Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute

I'm practicing some Icelandic phrases for my upcoming trip, and I'm learning to say, "Áttu þetta í bleiku?" —Do you have it in pink?

 
 

Happy Valentines Day.
All my love,
Leslie

Saturday Night, 11/19, the pARTy is on! Who's with me?

 
 

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
— Oprah Winfrey

 
 

I've been working on contrast. The dark and the light. You can't have one without the other. Combining this with my wild cherry metaphor has led me to my Black Cherry Series. After several years in the making, I'm thrilled to share it with you.

 

I'm beyond excited to see you on November 19th at my Holiday pARTy. You wouldn't believe how much I've missed you. And now, I feel great. The house is spruced up for the holidays. The pARTy is on! Mark your calendar and click the button below to RSVP right now; I'll wait!

Wild Cherry Art Holiday pARTy
Saturday, November 19th
8 pm till 11 pm
Art, Live Music, Booze, Snacks, Fun
Bags, Cards, Ornaments
Birdsong Soy Candles

The party will be super fun with wonderful people and a delicious signature cocktail. The band is fantastic this year with (the infamous) Glenn Healy on drums, (the incomparable) Philip Cohen on Bass, and (the I can't believe he's playing with me!) Stuart Klinger on lead guitar. That puts me on vocals and rhythm guitar. We'll be playing a short assortment of originals and a holiday cover or two. It's going to rock!

 

I've continued exploring with my Sennelier Oil Pastels, from Paris, breathing life into the inspiration from my trip to France, Austria, and Hungary this year. See them all at the pARTy!

 

We can sip, shop and celebrate the season together. All art will be for sale during the party, along with bags and notecards. You can invest in your own collection, purchase a gift, or make an appointment to discuss a commission. My friend, Martha of Birdsong Soy Candles, will be offering her beautiful candles. More than anything I want you to come and have fun with me.

Let’s get the party started!

Love,
Leslie

PS Please be up to date with your vaccines and don’t come if you’re sick.
