Ancient, silvery and full of the Mediterranean, the olive tree is one of the most characterful trees you can bring onto a wall. Its gnarled trunk and shimmering leaves, its warm southern light, its air of great age, it carries the calm and warmth of the south. This collection captures that spirit on canvas.
Whether you are drawn to a single ancient olive, a silvery grove or a warm, painterly reading, there is an olive tree painting here to warm a room, printed to order on 300 gsm cotton. An olive tree brings a note of Mediterranean calm and warmth to a home, and a soft, silvery-green palette to a wall.
A twisted old trunk against golden light, a grove on a warm hillside, or a soft wash of silver-green, the olive tree suits pieces that are warm, calm and full of southern character.
The olive tree: the calm of the Mediterranean
A tree of great age and character
The olive tree is one of the longest-lived of all trees, and it wears its age beautifully, in the twist of the trunk and the silver of the leaves. That character gives an olive tree painting real depth, a sense of endurance and quiet strength.
Southern warmth and light
The olive is the tree of the Mediterranean, of Provence, Tuscany and the Greek hills, and it carries all their warm light and calm. An olive tree painting brings a little of that southern warmth into a home, wherever it is.
The olive tree across styles
Ancient trunks
A single old olive, its gnarled trunk full of character, makes a striking, grounding piece, a portrait of a tree that has stood for centuries.
Silvery groves
A grove of olives on a warm hillside brings soft, silvery-green colour and the calm of a Mediterranean afternoon, a soothing scene for a warm room.
Soft and painterly
A loose, painterly olive tree brings a gentle, impressionist feel, all warm light and soft colour, at home in a calm, sunny space.

The olive tree in a Mediterranean interior
The olive tree belongs to a warm, natural look built around soft green, terracotta, warm stone and plenty of light, the palette of a house in the south. Set in a kitchen, a living room or a sunny corner, it brings a relaxed, Mediterranean warmth, the feeling of a long, easy afternoon.
Its silvery-green colour is also wonderfully easy to live with. It pairs beautifully with cream, warm wood, terracotta and soft blue, an easy palette for a relaxed, sun-washed room, and it brings a natural calm without ever feeling cold.
As a symbol, the olive tree stands for peace, endurance and abundance, one of the oldest and most meaningful of all trees. An olive tree painting brings a little of that quiet meaning onto a wall, along with all its southern warmth.
Choosing the right olive tree painting
Tree or grove. A single ancient olive brings character and presence, a silvery grove brings warmth and calm. Start with the look you want in the room.
Size. A large grove makes a warm statement, a single tree a characterful focal point, and a smaller piece a gentle accent in a kitchen or hallway.
The frame. A natural wood finish plays to the olive's warm tones, a white frame keeps it soft and airy, and a black frame sharpens a characterful old trunk. Each product page lists the exact sizes, colours and framing options.
Sizes and formats
Every design comes in a range of sizes, from a small accent to a large statement piece, and in portrait, landscape and square formats. A large canvas or a multi-panel set fills a big wall above a sofa or a bed, a medium size makes a focal point in a smaller room, and a tall portrait suits a narrow wall or the gap between two windows. The exact dimensions and framing options for each piece are listed on its product page, so you can match it to your wall with confidence.
