When you hear the phrase landscape art, your mind might immediately jump to the work of the Hudson Valley artists like Thomas Cole or maybe some Impressionist paintings by Monet. As much as these pieces differ from one another, they do tend to follow the same general guidelines. They showcase a stretch of nature, and do so in hues that more or less reflect how it appears in real life. But our favorite versions challenge the status quo: When it comes to color palettes, they eschew realism for something far more exciting.

Perennially pink skies and ultra-saturated teal water might not be the most accurate, but they make landscape prints feel refreshingly contemporary. Just take a look at some of our favorites, below, and you might come away with a new appreciation for the great outdoors that you can channel into your gallery wall.

You don’t need a sunrise or sunset to make a pretty landscape. In fact, you don’t need any sun at all, as this groovy desert scene by Art and People proves.

There’s something wonderfully retro about 8PXL’s pixelated art. The pink and blue sky in this print is like something out of an old video game.
