10×8" oil pastel on watercolor paper, matted and framed to 14×11" – ready to hang.
I rarely paint still lifes, but I wanted to see if oil pastel could make cherries look so real you’d try to pick one up. Mission accomplished.
The perfect burst of red for a kitchen, dining nook, or anywhere you want a little temptation on the wall.
One only. When it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

The Story Behind Cherry Temptation
Still lifes aren’t my usual thing, but one day I looked at a bowl of cherries and thought: “Can oil pastel make someone actually reach for one?”
Hours of layering rich reds, deep shadows, and that glossy highlight later… I think the answer is yes.
