Original Oil Seascape Painting of Van Damme in Mendocino County by Liana Steinmetz
ARTIST NOTES: I am out painting with my dog. We are sitting above Van Damme State Park Beach, enjoying the view. A few people are down at the beach, watching the waves, looking for shells. But by the time I am finished painting, it is empty. I watch the sun get lower and soon everything is glowing orange. The pampas grass shakes in the wind. The waves sparkle yellow light. We are quiet.
DETAILS:
- Oil on Canvas
- 20" x 16" 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

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.

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.

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.
