Original oil paintings celebrating the world,
wild and urban
Welcome to Steve Trumpeter’s online gallery. Steve is a Chicago-based painter working in oils—landscapes, cityscapes, the occasional portrait—and this site is your source for purchasing originals and prints directly from the artist.
Every painting starts with a “hell yeah” moment
Steve Trumpeter uses traditional oil painting methods to explore subjects both urban and wild, focusing primarily on landscapes and cityscapes. His Tennessee upbringing led him to an appreciation of natural spaces, while nearly three decades in Chicago have exposed him to architectural beauty and diverse influences. Most of these paintings capture scenes from his adventures around the world.

Want something made just for you?
I take a limited number of commissions each year: pet portraits, family homes, a favorite place you’d love to see captured in oils. If you have something in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
Paintings need walls
