Santa Barbara Oil Paintings

Hand-painted originals · Santa Barbara, California

The stretch of coast around Santa Barbara and Montecito is where the mountains come almost to the water, and the light goes gold in a way it does nowhere else. These oil paintings come from that coastline — the hills above the sea, the haze that softens everything past the middle distance. Each is an original, hand-painted on canvas.

Buying an original Santa Barbara painting

Every painting on this page is an original, hand-painted in oil on canvas by David Steefel— not a print, not a reproduction, and not a copy of another painting. Once one sells it is gone, so the collection here is the collection that exists.

Paintings ship free within the United States, and each arrives unframed so you can choose framing that suits the room. The frame and mat shown on each painting's page are a preview tool only.

Looking for a particular view of Santa Barbara that isn't here? Get in touch about a commission — David works from photographs, including ones you supply.
