Landscape Oil Paintings
Are you trying to find landscape oil paintings?
The internet has given us art lovers the chance to search for paintings all across the world. Where one day we were restricted to a local gallery we can now buy from any online store and have the painting delivered straight to our home.
This has totally changed the way I shop for art. I have always been keen on a bargain and like to know that the money I invest is covered by the cost of the painting, but since the internet I have been able to find and buy paintings for a lot cheaper that I was before.
So where are these sites that I use? There are a few that I look through but I always start on the same site as it is the one that I have had the most success with, having found a number of paintings at amazing prices.

An oil painting can make a huge difference to a room if the right painting is hung in the right place. Some walls cry out for a landscape painting while others are more suited to oil portrait paintings. Of course, we all have our own personal taste and belief as to what looks best where but there are some examples where a landscape frame is better suited, such as above a mantelpiece.
Oil paintings are not just for use in the home with many offices, shops and restaurants also displaying quality paintings. Many public places such as the ones mentioned will often display reproductions of classic paintings by some of the most famous artists the world has ever seen. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent Van Gogh have painted some of the most sought after reproductions available today.
Van Gogh’s Sunflowers is probably the most reproduced painting of all time, probably because it is seen as an uplifting painting that brings a smile to your face and a happy feeling inside. It also happens to be one of the most expensive paintings ever sold and this also gives it an interesting feel.
Many people prefer to have an original painting even if it has been painted by an unknown artist. Owning an original oil painting gives a room in your house something that no other room in the world has. I have a number of friends that will only hang original art in their home as they believe it adds something that a reproduction cannot.
I don’t take this view and instead choose to have a mixture of original art as well as the occasional reproduction. After all paintings are there to be enjoyed and good art is good art, so if I can find a good landscape oil painting that has been reproduced I will buy it because I like it and looks good in my house. But I will equally be interested in a painting by an unknown artist if I like it and have a spare wall for it to hang on.
Most of the walls in my house are covered with landscape paintings of all different sizes. In fact my dining room is the only room in my house that I don’t hang any landscape pictures, instead choosing to position a number of portrait oil paintings on each wall.
Original Oil Painting
Today’s landscape painting is a typical Pacific Northwest mountain scene. The Cascade and Olympic Mountains are full of evergreens and steep hillsides. This little scene was created on a 5×7 inch gessoed hardboard panel.

This morning, I went out painting with my friends Candice and Trevor. I spent the better part of my undergrad painting outside – buildings and telephone poles mostly – paintings that focused mainly on the skies.
