Favorite Things Fridays: Birds & Snakes #2, The Art of Lynette Shelley

I just discovered my new favorite Etsy artist, Lynette Shelley. Her use of pattern is gorgeous and adroit. Her paintings are like beautiful love stories about animals. There's a powerful, mythical feel to her work. Like a modernized and sophisticated Aboriginal Australian style blended with Celtic illustration. I'm showcasing reptiles and birds, of course, and carefully ignoring her scary [only to me; I know] bunnies.
