Using the app
Do I need an account?
No. There is no login or sign-up. Everything in the app is available right away.
How do I browse the collection?
Open the Collection tab to see available paintings. Use the artist filter to show one artist’s works, and tap any painting for its details and larger image.
Where can I read about the artists?
Open the Artists tab and tap an artist to read their biography and see their available works.
How do favorites work?
Tap the heart on any painting to save it, then open Favorites to see your saved works. Favorites are stored only on your device, so they won’t carry over to another device and are removed if you delete the app.
How do I ask about a painting in the collection?
On the painting’s page, tap Inquire to email us with the painting’s details filled in, or open it on californiapaintings.com.
How do I find the gallery?

Some images or the Sell form won’t load.
The Sell form and some images need an internet connection. Check your connection and try again. If the form still won’t load, use “Prefer email instead?” on the Sell screen, or email us directly.
Selling a painting
What do you buy?
We buy, sell and consign Early California and Western American paintings, primarily c. 1890–1940. We offer a Free Appraisal and pay top dollar for quality works.
How do I submit my painting?
Open the Sell tab and fill in the “Sell Your Painting” form: your name and contact details, what you know about the painting (artist, title, size, condition, history), and photos. Then submit. Your submission is sent to us securely through Jotform, and we’ll get back to you by email or phone.
Which photos should I include?
Clear photos of the front, the back, and the signature are most helpful. Photograph the painting straight on in good, even light, and include the frame if it has one. When prompted, allow camera or photo access so you can attach them.
Does the appraisal cost anything?
No. The evaluation is free and there is no obligation.
What happens to my photos and information?
We use them only to evaluate your painting and respond to you. We do not sell your information. See our Privacy Policy for details, including how to ask us to delete your submission.
Can I send my painting by email instead?
Yes. On the Sell screen, choose “Prefer email instead?” to open your email app with the details filled in (attach your photos before sending), or email StevenSternFineArts@gmail.com.
