Original Oil Floral Painting by Liana Steinmetz
ARTIST NOTES:
When I paint leaves and petals, stems and flowers I allow myself to come up with whatever works. I take risks and choose colors that talk to me. I let go of what it should look like or how I should paint. This experimenting allows me to grow as an artist and the result is a bold, fresh painting.
Wildflowers grow where they want. They will take over meadows and sidewalk cracks. If they have water, sun and soil, they will make it work. Painting flowers without a plan I am honoring the flowers journey to grow without a plan. Just follow the sun and make seeds. Just do your best. Follow the sun.
DETAILS:
- Oil on Canvas
- 16" x 20" x 1.5"
- Sides are painted as a continuation of the painting
- Wire on back ready to hang
Packed with Care
Making sure your painting arrives safely is one of the most important parts of my business. I use bubble wrap, newspaper, and honeycomb packing paper to make sure your painting stays in perfect condition along its journey.
I feel strongly about creating as little waste as possible so I reuse packing materials whenever I can, but they will always protect your paintings with maximum care. Your painting may come in a reused box and/or with gently used bubble wrap or paper.
Framed Originals
Except for my small paintings, most original paintings come unframed. For those, the sides are painted as a continuation of the painting, so they look finished and beautiful to hang without a frame.
Want to Add a Frame?
If you prefer a frame, I can make that happen for a reasonable fee. Contact me and I can help you choose a frame to go with your piece. The frame will be custom made from hardwood, so it will add about a three to four weeks to your order. My favorite style of frame is a walnut or maple float, which means there is air space between the painting and the frame.
Testimonials
We love the painting Liana commissioned for our personal home! She was wonderful to work with from communication to the execution of the piece. As an interior designer, I have never been so pleased with a commission and so grateful this piece gets to live with us forever!
Bailey Ward
Interior Designer
Liana has such a distinctive method of mark-making and a rich unique pallet that imbues her scenes with much personality, feeling, and aliveness. I fell in love with her scenes instantly, feeling the beauty of the California landscape captured and translated into affection and joy for place.
Michelle Nye
Former Gallery Director, SF MoMA Artists Gallery
We have 8 gorgeous prints of Liana's decorating an addition to our house we rent on Airbnb and I can't tell you how often they are complimented and guests ask us about the artist. I find it impossible to look at one of her paintings without feeling wonder and joy for our beautiful corner of the world.
