Nature Art for Sale

Original nature art by living artists, from water and forest to wildlife and botanical subjects, each piece painted or drawn by hand and signed.

Why choose nature art?

Rooms with natural imagery simply feel calmer, and most people sense it within seconds of walking in. A hand-painted original of water, forest, or wildlife brings that effect with real texture and depth that survives daylight, unlike a stretched print. Every nature piece here is one of a kind, signed by the artist, and shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Where does nature art fit best?

Bedrooms, bathrooms, and any room meant for winding down take nature subjects well, and offices use them to soften hard architecture. Green and water tones sit comfortably next to wood, linen, and stone. Choose the subject by the feeling you want at the door: water reads quiet, forests read grounded, animals add life and a touch of humour.

Are these nature pieces originals or reproductions?

Every piece in this collection is an original made by a living artist, painted or drawn by hand and signed, and we sell no prints and no reproductions.

That matters more with natural subjects than most people expect, because water, bark, fur and petals are where the artist's hand shows. A reproduction can copy the colours, but it cannot copy the ridge of dried paint or the pressure of a pencil line pushed harder at the edge of a leaf. Since each work is one of a kind, the artist made a single set of decisions about that stretch of water or that tree, and nobody else owns the result. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and ships free and fully insured, 3 to 7 business days inside Canada and 5 to 10 to the USA.

What counts as nature art?

Nature art is any artwork whose main subject comes from the natural world: water, forests, flowers, mountains, animals, weather, and light. In this collection the subject stays constant while the medium changes. You will find oil and acrylic on canvas, ink work, colored pencil, and more, all original and signed, gathered by our gallery in Vancouver, a city where the forest and the sea are a short walk from most front doors. That closeness shapes what our artists paint.

Why do rooms with nature imagery feel calmer?

Rooms with nature imagery feel calmer because the eye rests on organic shapes and natural color in a way it never rests on hard edges and screens. The biologist Edward O. Wilson called this pull toward living things biophilia, and you do not need the term to feel it: think of how differently you breathe in a forest than in a parking garage. A painting cannot replace the forest. It can, in our experience, carry a useful fraction of that feeling into a bedroom or an office, and it does it all day without being asked.

Should you choose water, forest, botanical, or wildlife?

Choose by the feeling you want the room to hold, because each branch of nature art carries a different one. This is the comparison we walk buyers through:

SubjectFeeling it bringsTypical paletteRooms it suits

Forest and treesSheltered, groundedGreens and brownsLiving room, den, cabin
Botanical and floralFresh, gentleDepends on the flowerKitchen, dining room, entry

If a palette is your starting point instead, browse our green paintings or blue paintings and let the subject follow. Wide scenic views have their own home in landscape paintings, and creatures get a full page of their own in our animal art collection.

Does the medium matter for nature subjects?

Yes: the medium decides how the subject feels on the wall, sometimes more than the subject itself. Oil holds depth and atmosphere, so it suits mist, water, and heavy forest light. Ink strips a scene down to line and nerve, which can make a single branch feel monumental. Colored pencil rewards close viewing with detail you can study from a hand-span away. One honest caution before you buy: a calm painting will not quiet a cluttered room on its own, so give it a wall with some breathing space. When you do order, shipping is free and fully insured, about 3 to 7 business days within Canada and 5 to 10 to the USA, and every piece arrives with its Certificate of Authenticity.

Frequently asked questions

Is a coloured pencil nature piece worth less than an oil painting of the same subject?

No, and we price it on the work, not the material. Phaedra's coloured pencil work on artboard can take as long as an oil canvas, because the colour is built in many light layers that are hard to correct once they are down. Across this collection prices run from about $93 to about $1,800, and the medium alone does not decide where a piece sits in that range.

How do you pack a large nature canvas for shipping?

We pack it with the painted face protected, the corners guarded, and the whole piece inside a rigid box sized to it. It leaves our Vancouver studio insured for its full value, and shipping is free, about 3 to 7 business days inside Canada and about 5 to 10 to the USA. Keep the packaging for two weeks in case you use the 14-day trial.

Can I see the nature paintings in person in Vancouver?

Yes, by appointment. We are based in Vancouver and every piece ships from the studio here, so if you are local you can book a private viewing and stand in front of the work before deciding. Tell us which paintings you want pulled out and we will have them ready. If you cannot visit, we will send extra photos and a short video in daylight instead.

What happens if the nature painting I am considering sells while I am deciding?

It is gone, because each one is an original and there is only ever one. The page does not vanish though. It moves into our sold archive and stays online, so you can still show us what you liked. If you are close to deciding, the safer move is to order and use the 14-day trial, which gives a full refund with return shipping paid by us.

Is a nature painting a safe gift for someone else's home?

Safer than most subjects, yes. Water, forest and quiet animal scenes suit more rooms than portraits or strong abstract work, which is why we suggest them for gifts. The real safety net is the trial. If it does not suit their room, it can go back within 14 days for a full refund and we cover return shipping. Pass on the Certificate of Authenticity with the painting.

My wall is wider than the biggest nature painting you have. What now?

Nature pieces here reach about 120 cm wide and about 150 cm tall, so a wider wall gives you two sensible options. Either hang two related pieces with a hand width of space between them, which suits landscape and botanical work well, or commission a custom size from the artist you like. Send a photo and the wall measurement in cm and we will say which we would choose.

How do I choose between water, forest, botanical, and wildlife paintings?

Pick by the feeling you want in the room: water calms, forest grounds, botanical rewards a close look, and wildlife brings movement. Water and forest scenes suit bedrooms and hallways where you want quiet. Botanical studies belong where people sit and can see the detail. Wildlife works best on a wall you notice from across the room.

Does nature art actually make a room feel calmer?

A nature painting can make a room feel calmer, but the effect comes from the colours and the amount of empty space in the image, not from the subject alone. A soft misty forest calms. A crashing wave in hot orange does not. If calm is the goal, choose muted greens, greys, and blues with plenty of quiet area.

What drives the price of nature art up or down?

Three things set the price: size, medium, and how much detail the artist packed in. Small studies start around 72 dollars, mid-size work commonly lands between 300 and 900, and large canvases run higher. A dense forest with hundreds of separate leaves costs more than a broad, simplified water scene of the same size, because it took far longer to paint.

What size nature painting should go above a bed?

Above a bed, aim for a painting about two thirds the width of the bed, roughly 100 to 120 cm (40 to 48 inches) over a queen. Hang the bottom edge 20 to 25 cm above the headboard. Go wider and the wall looks crowded. Go much narrower and the painting simply looks too small for the bed.

Will a nature painting fade if it hangs near a window?

Direct sunlight will fade any painting over the years, so keep a nature piece off a wall that gets hours of hard afternoon sun. Bright indirect light is fine and shows the greens properly. If the only good wall faces a strong window, add a sheer blind, or swap the piece with another one every few months.

How do I know a nature painting was painted by hand and not traced from a photo?

Hand-painted nature work shows decisions: simplified branches, invented light, brush marks that follow the shape of a leaf rather than copying every one. A traced or printed image looks equally sharp everywhere. Ask us about the piece and we will tell you how the artist worked, from sketches, from life, or from their own reference photos.

When is nature art the wrong choice for a room?

Nature art is the wrong choice in a room that already has a strong view of real trees or water, because the painting competes with the window and loses. It also struggles in rooms with heavy patterned wallpaper. In both cases, a simple abstract or a single figure holds its own better against the surroundings.
