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

 

“Oh, Christmas isn’t just a day; it’s a frame of mind.”

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.

 

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

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.
