Choosing Unique Modern Abstract Art by Room and Wall Size
Finding unique modern abstract art for sale starts with the wall, not the price tag. Measure the space first, then pick a piece that fills roughly two-thirds of the wall above a sofa or console. Smaller works look lost on large walls and tend to disappear in busy rooms.
Think about the room's mood next. Bold, saturated canvases suit a lively dining room or entryway, while softer palettes calm a bedroom. Our pick for a small space is the 6 x 6 inch White Roses oil painting at $325.00, which is framed and ready to hang.
How to Tell Original Art From a Print
Originals are hand-painted, so each brushstroke is one of a kind. Look for visible texture, paint ridges and varnish that catches the light differently across the surface. Giclee prints reproduce a painting digitally, and ours are lightly embellished by hand, which the listings describe as making them original in their own right.
Ask every seller for a certificate of authenticity and clear information about the medium. Our Walking in the Rain and Field of Daisies giclee prints are priced at $1,155.00.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if abstract art is an original painting or a print?
Look for brushwork, paint texture and edges. Originals show visible strokes and layered paint, while giclee prints look flatter and smoother up close. Check the listing for the medium: an original oil or oil pastel painting is a single handmade work, whereas a giclee print is a reproduction of one. Roxy Rich's original paintings are listed as originals, and her embellished giclee prints are labeled as prints with a Certificate of Authenticity sent separately. Ask the seller for close-up photos of the surface if the listing is unclear.
What size abstract painting should you choose for a wall?
A common rule is to let the artwork fill roughly two-thirds of the width of the furniture or wall space beneath it. Small pieces look lost on large walls, so choose a larger work for a sofa or a wide open wall. Roxy Rich's 24 x 30 inch embellished giclee prints are one option for a living room, and the 30 x 30 inch House on a Hill print is a larger piece. The 6 x 6 inch framed White Roses original fits small spaces or a shelf better than a full wall.

You can buy originals directly from the artist's site. At prettypaintings.com, Roxy Rich's original paintings include the framed White Roses oil painting at $325.00 and the Corbeaux Wine and Art After Dark oil pastel painting at $35,000.00. Shipping is included to the continental USA for these originals, and international shipping is calculated at checkout. Prints of her work, such as the 24 x 30 inch embellished giclee prints at $1,155.00, are sold separately and ship with a Certificate of Authenticity.
