Shari Pedowitz's A Little Bit Dangerous pulses with a playful energy, a wink and a dare. It's the electric thrill of anticipation, the flutter in your stomach before you take a risk. The dominant green is lush and alive, like a hidden garden that hints at secrets and naughty delights, vibrating with a restless energy, mirroring the excitement of a flirtation.
 
Splashes of gold are sparks that ignite Shari's abstract expressionist painting, suggesting a playful touch, a lingering glance, the heat of a shared laugh. They're strategically placed, like little whispers of temptation, adding to the sense of delicious danger. There's sensuality in the way her colors interact, a subtle suggestion of bodies moving close, of unspoken desires simmering beneath the surface.
 
Shari's brushstrokes are loose and expressive, capturing the fluidity of dance, the freedom of letting go. Her painting is swaying to a rhythm, teasing you to join in the fun. It's confident, unapologetically bold, like a woman who knows her power and isn't afraid to use it.
 
A Little Bit Dangerous tempts you to embrace the thrill of the unknown, to revel in the excitement of a flirtation, to dance close to the edge without falling off. It's a celebration of the playful, sensual energy that makes life so exciting because, sometimes, the best things in life are just a little bit dangerous.
