Silhouetted palms frame the scene, adding depth and grounding the composition in a sense of place.

Care Instructions for Oil Pastel Artwork: Oil pastel paintings are beautifully vibrant and long‑lasting, but their surface is delicate. Keep the artwork in its protective sleeve until you’re ready to frame it, and avoid touching the surface directly. For best preservation, frame the piece under glass using a mat so the artwork doesn’t touch the glass. Please do not use spray fixative, as it can darken or change the colors. Display your artwork away from direct sunlight or harsh lighting to keep it bright and beautiful for years to come.
 
What Are Oil Pastels?
Oil pastels are not crayons — they are a high‑quality artist medium made from concentrated pigment and oil. They allow for bold color, expressive texture, and painterly effects. Many collectors love oil pastel paintings for their depth, softness, and unique surface quality.
Some famous artists that used oil pastels are Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Jean Dubuffet.
