Mustard and Fennel Above Slide Ranch / 30 x 30 / Oil on Canvas
Original Oil Landscape Painting of The California Coast in California in-between Muir Beach and Stinson Beach, by Liana Steinmetz
ARTIST NOTES: Recently I have been thinking a lot about the universe and why we are here and what is here that we cannot see and what happens when we die. Fun stuff! Totally. Seriously. Anyway, one idea I like is that no new souls are born on earth. Everyone who is here has been around before. The reason is that being human is hard. It’s not for beginners. Living here involves pain and loss and it is too harsh for new souls. Life here can be really, really hard.
But we choose to come anyway. I like to think that we come because the beauty of the planet is so mind blowing and unique that it makes it worth it. The love and beauty balance out the pain.
So while we are here, let’s notice the beauty. Let’s watch the way the wind moves the oat grass like waves of water. Let’s be memorized by the way the light filters through the oak leaves. Let’s giggle like kids at the rainbow backs of hermit crabs while they crawl in our palms.
Every day the world offers its beauty to us. Beauty is everywhere and it is a gift.
So sitting here between Slide Ranch and Muir Beach, I let go of the worries, the insecurities. Even for just a short time. I focus on the untamed flowers in front of me, the gentle breeze and the ocean down below. I bask in my human experience and my gratitude for such a beautiful world.

Let customers speak for us
It is a visual delight to drink deeply of Liana's paintings in one book, turning pages slowly to study and admire color, composition and strokes. My daughter now lives in Marin County, and it's fun to recognize scenes and vistas from Liana's perspective. Thanks for this treat, Liana, and I hope to plein air paint with you in one of my future visits!
I bought a mid-sized painting of Cala lilies that now hangs in my bedroom. They are fresh and graceful and you can almost feel the sunshine and smell the fresh air. I enjoy the warmth of its presence and love having such a treasure! Thank you Liana !
I am a Liana fan and just bought two more paintings. Sweet Greens Big Sur is very large, so I was a little nervous about it, but it is stunning and makes me so happy. Lemon Light is also gorgeous and the colors are so soft and pretty. I get lots of compliments on her work and I just love having it throughout my home. Looking forward to adding a floral to my collection some day.
Liana's paintings are a beautiful addition to our client' art collection. Her unique style, brushstroke, and use of colors make her work stand out. In addition, the paintings arrive perfectly intact due to their careful packaging/shipping. We couldn't be happier!
I’m absolutely in love with my large print! The colors are vibrant and convey the original brushstrokes wonderfully. Th frame is lovely and elevates the look. It’s such a wonderful centerpiece in my living room, I ended up ordering another for my bedroom!
I fell in love with this painting the moment I saw it and feel so fortunate that I was able to bring it into my home. The painting is gorgeous and brings me so much joy!
In regard to purchasing, the website was easy to navigate and the painting arrived carefully packaged and right on time!
Liana’s work is exquisite, her use of color, how she visually explores space and shape. She’s my favorite landscape artist, hands down!
As I was moving away from San Francisco, I wanted to capture the beauty of the view from my hilltop flat. I'd fallen in love with Liana's work when I'd seen it years earlier, and I knew she was who I wanted to bring that vision to life. Luckily for me she said yes. It was in the height of the pandemic so we did a video call, and I gave her the tour and shared some pictures. She turned that into a beautiful reincarnation of that gorgeous vista that I can now look at every day, even though I've moved thousands of miles away. She was amazing to work with and knew exactly what to do to bring three dimensions to life on canvas. Liana did such an amazing job. Every time I look at that painting I really feel like I'm back home in my apartment in the trees.
I am lucky to have two beautiful pieces from Liana in my home. One is a small painting that offers a much sought after anchor point for resetting in my office to clear my mind from the chaos and stress of work with texture, color and richness. The second is a gorgeous print above my bed that provides engaging and calming colors and reminds me of the landscapes I grew up around in Marin. Liana captures sensation, emotion and location so beautifully in her work, I feel held and connected when I am in the presence of her art. Thank you Liana!
Liana's art effortlessly captures the color, beauty, and calm of the northern California coast and hills. I've admired and followed her work for a long time, and now proudly hang two of her pieces in my home. They have become some of my most loved possessions. Working with Liana to select and order the pieces was so enjoyable. She was collaborative, answering all my questions and providing more pictures at my request. I love escaping to the Marin headlands through her art, and I hope to collect more of her work in the future.
