Shari Pedowitz's Need You Tonight is a sumptuous confession, a visceral expression of longing laid bare on her canvas. It's the kind of need that burns hot and deep, a craving for connection that transcends the physical, exposed in shades of red, copper, and black.
 
Shari’s canvas throbs with a raw, sensual energy. Deep, vibrant reds dominate, the flush of desire, the urgency of a heartbeat echoing in the darkness. It's the kind of red that tempts with promises and hints at forbidden pleasures. Splashes of copper flicker like embers in the night, adding a touch of decadent allure, the shimmer of skin under the dim glow of a flickering light. Black accents ground her abstract expressionist painting, a shadow of mystery, a hint of the unknown that intensifies your craving.
 
Shari’s textures are alive with an energy that crackles just below the surface. Her lush brushstrokes are bold and urgent, capturing the hedonistic need to connect. It's a dance of passion and vulnerability, a story told in layers of color and texture.
 
Need You Tonight is a primal scream of ecstatic hunger, a fête of the sensual, the naughty, the carnal. It's the feeling of wanting so deeply it aches, the surrender to desire, the intoxicating pull of another. It's sexy, it's raw, and utterly captivating — an expression of human connection in its most primal form, both a need and a transcendent experience.
