Looking at art on Esty is kind of like going to a thrift store: if you've got the energy to dig through all the junk, you'll find some really beautiful things. Scrolling through seemingly endless mediocre (and worse) paintings of fruit still lifes, CUSTOM PORTRAITS OF YOUR PET!, and sunset and palm tree landscapes makes finding something really beautiful as exciting as finding a Prada skirt amidst racks of acid washed jeans and polyester suits.Enter Rebecca Shelly, a young painter from Portland, Oregon creating beautiful, leafy abstractions which combine naturalistic description with biomorphic areas of flat color. A number of her paintings are available for purchase on Etsy at wonderfully affordable prices. Currently featured on the Cover of the Portland Review Literary Journal, Ms. Shelly is an artist on the rise!

what do you have against Custom Portraits of your pet?
ReplyDeleteNothing against them; if they're good enough for Oprah, they're good enough for me. (http://www.dogpainting.com/info_detail.cfm?arts_id=cm)
ReplyDeleteI love my pets, I love paintings, but I DO NOT LIKE BEING SHOUTED AT BY PET PAINTERS. Also, there are just so many of these guys on etsy, it's hard to deal.
