Beautiful, sophisticated art can be difficult to come by, but hopefully this ideabook will send you in the right direction. Almost every painting you see here is an original and many of them are so reasonably priced, you'll find yourself doing a double-take. Enjoy these gorgeous pieces! — Stephanie from Stephmodo

| One of my all-time favorite artists, Katherine Sandoz, recently updated her online boutique of luxury items with some gorgeous, abstract landscapes I simply cannot get enough of. It is as if I could fill every room in my home with her beautiful, melodic paintings. They come framed too, making them easy-to-hang upon arrival — which is exactly what you'll want to do once you see these gorgeous colors and strokes with your own eyes. |

This is perfect for a feminine bedroom or a teenage girl's bedroom, which still requires sweetness, but is begging for sophistication.

Reminiscent of Monet's waterlilies, this contemporary version is mesmerizing, cheerful and full of positive light and energy. It would make a lovely addition to any space. Painted on gallery-wrapped canvas, it arrives ready to hang.

| This is a gorgeous oil on panel by artist Paul Ferney showcasing the beauty of Sonoma County, California. I love the thick brushstrokes and the color palette. He is definitely an artist to watch (and to stock up on). |

| Love the idea of a family tree, but not interested in the traditional arbre? Well, this is the best one I've found to date. I love the color palettes (there are two to choose from) and modern styling. I'd opt for a white or off-white frame (Pottery Barn's wood gallery frames are great for the price). |

This is a cheerful, bold piece with just the right amount of femininity. It would look lovely propped up on a sideboard with a stack of pretty books and a lovely lamp.

This is a gorgeous, modern handmade print (from wooden blocks no less) and part of a limited edition. Bringing nature into your living space is most calming and this original piece captures the essence of the outdoors in the loveliest of ways.

This lovely botanical print would be perfect in a teenage girl's bedroom or framed in white above a midcentury sideboard in the dining room. A lot of versatility here. The quality of print is top notch too.

A super simple canvas with a concise, well-edited palette of hues will complement many a space, without being overpowering at all.

This is for the urbanite who likes pink, of course. I love the idea of framing this petite watercolor with an oversized mat for added drama.
