Green Paintings for Sale

Original green paintings by independent Vancouver artists, from soft sage to deep forest, each one hand-painted, signed, and the only one of its kind.

Why is green art everywhere in interiors right now?

Green art is popular because it does a job no other colour does indoors: it connects the room to whatever is growing outside the window.

The plain version of the trend goes like this. A decade of grey interiors left people wanting life back in their rooms. Houseplants came first, then sage kitchens, then green art on the walls. We do not think this dies next season, because the pull of green is older than any trend; it is the colour of things being alive. A green canvas from our nature paintings works like a window even in a windowless hallway.

Does green art work next to wood furniture?

Yes, green art and wood furniture are one of the safest pairings in interiors, because green and brown sit beside each other everywhere in nature and the eye accepts them together without thinking.

Oak, walnut, teak, pine: all of them warm up next to green. The pairing works in both directions, so if your room already leans on heavy wood or on our brown paintings, green is the easiest colour to add next. The one caution is undertone. A yellow-green like olive loves golden oak. A blue-green like viridian prefers dark walnut or black-stained wood.

What is the difference between sage and forest green in art?

Sage is green softened with grey, quiet and dusty, while forest green is deep and saturated, closer to viridian or dark sap green, and the two do very different jobs on a wall.

How do I choose a green painting for my room?

Choose green by testing it in your own light, because green shifts more than any other colour we ship: sage can turn grey under cool LED bulbs, and olive can go muddy at night.

North daylight cools greens down. Warm evening bulbs push them yellow. This is exactly what our home trial is for: hang the piece for up to 14 days, look at it at breakfast and again after dark, and if the green goes wrong in your light, return it for a full refund with the return shipping on us. We will also admit the limit of this colour. Green is calm by nature, and if you want a room to feel energetic, it will not do that for you. For green with a subject rather than pure colour, our landscape paintings carry these pigments straight from the source.

Frequently asked questions

Why does one green painting here cost so much more than the rest?

One large work sits far above everything else in the collection. Most greens here run from about $300 into the high hundreds, and then a single piece reaches near $28,000. That number reflects the scale and the work behind that one painting, not a general price for green art. If your budget is the middle of the range, you still have real choice.

Can I try two greens at home and keep only one?

Yes, and it is the smartest way to buy colour. Buy both, hang both, and send back the one that loses within 14 days for a full refund, with return shipping paid by us. Greens read completely differently against warm white walls than against grey, and no screen will tell you which way yours goes. Just tell us you are comparing so we expect one back.

How do I match a green painting to a green I already have in the room?

Do not try to match it exactly. An exact match makes the painting and the cushion both look like samples, and near misses look like mistakes. We aim for a green a few steps away from yours, deeper or greyer, so the two read as a pair rather than a copy. Send a room photo to our free advisory and we will shortlist against the actual room.

Which artists here work with green the most?

Nahira and Peyman Mehdizadeh use green the most here. Nahira's acrylics on canvas use green in cool, night-toned scenes, while Peyman Mehdizadeh brings it into broken, structural abstracts. Green also runs through work by Phaedra, Roshan, Ziba Vishteh and Elmira Hokmabadi. Sizes across the group go from about 30 by 40 cm up to 150 cm across, so the same colour is available at very different scales.

Do you have green work that is not on this page?

Sometimes we do have green work that is not on this page. It collects work where green is the dominant colour, so a painting with a strong green passage inside a mostly warm canvas sits in another collection instead. There are also unfinished pieces you can follow or claim early at /collections/watch-art-being-made. Describe the green you have in mind and we will look across everything in the studio, including work not yet listed.

The green piece I wanted just sold. Can the artist paint it again?

No, we will not ask an artist to repeat a painting that has already sold. Every piece is one of a kind, and a second version is never the painting you fell for. The sold page stays online permanently, so send us the link and we will find the closest available work by that artist, or point you to a piece still being made.

What is considered a green painting?

A green painting is an original work where green leads the palette, whether a soft sage abstract, a forest scene, or a single viridian field. Most works here blend several greens with earth tones or cream, which is closer to how green appears in nature and easier to live with on a wall.

How much does an original green painting cost?

Original green paintings in our gallery start around $72 for small pieces and increase with size and detail. Each is hand-painted and signed, so there is no print-run pricing; you pay for one unique object. Set a budget first, then choose among the greens you like. It keeps the decision simple.

What size green painting should hang above a bed?

Above a bed, choose a painting between half and two thirds the width of the headboard, usually 75 to 110 cm (30 to 43 in) wide for a queen bed. Hang it 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) above the headboard so the two read as one calm unit.

Should I choose sage or a deeper green?

Choose sage when the room needs quiet, and a deeper forest or emerald green when the room needs weight. Sage suits bedrooms and pale, soft spaces; deep greens hold their own beside dark wood and in dining rooms. In a dim room sage can wash out to grey, so go deeper.

How long does shipping take for a green painting?

Shipping is free and fully insured on every order: 3 to 7 business days within Canada and 5 to 10 business days to the USA. Each work is packed by hand in Vancouver and insured for its full value in transit, so a damaged delivery is our problem to fix, not yours.

Are these green paintings originals or prints?

Every green painting here is a one-of-a-kind original, hand-painted and signed by the artist, with a Certificate of Authenticity included. We do not sell prints or reproductions of paintings. Look closely at the surface and you will see actual brushwork, which is the simplest proof there is.

When is green the wrong colour choice?

Green is the wrong choice when a room needs energy rather than calm, and in rooms with strong pink-beige undertones, where olive greens can turn muddy. If your space is already full of houseplants and green textiles, one more green may disappear; a rust or gold work will contrast better.

Original green paintings, chosen for real rooms

Why green works on a wall

Green brings the outdoors in. It feels fresh and restful, a little like blue but warmer and more natural. Sage and olive greens feel earthy and modern. Deep forest greens feel calm and rich. Bright greens add life to a plain room. Green pairs easily with wood and natural materials, which is why it suits so many homes.
