One of the great things about Etsy is that you can buy original artworks directly from the artist who made them.
And this miminalist black and white painting by Leah Caylor is one of our favorites.
The artists paints each of her portraits by hand usings high-quality acrylics and each piece is made-to-order. She’ll even paint a piece with customized dimensions if you want one that fits your wall perfectly.

Abstract paintings not your thing? No worries! There are tons of amazing landscapes, seascapes, still lives, and portraits on Etsy, too!
This original oil painting by ArttideArt, for example, depicts a few figures walking along a serene beach. Perfect for a seaside cottage or a vacation getaway home!
Unfortunately, this piece comes unframed. But, it shouldn’t be hard to find a nice frame for it.

VictoriAtelier Abstract Acrylic
Not all of the wall art pieces on Etsy are originals. Some artists prefer to sell printed reproductions of their paintings.
This piece by VictoriAtlelier, for example, comes in the form of two large, printed images.
While some of the texture of the original piece is lost, it’s a lot less expensive than the original.
It’s obviously still beautiful too, as it hasn’t lost its vibrant color in the reproduction process.

Although this piece is a printed reproduction, you can still see the brushstrokes and the washy texture of the watercolor perfectly. It’s printed on high-quality archival paper too, so it will last for years to come.
