Portland artist Amy Bennett creates striking oil paintings, many of whichd epict beautiful vistas, landscapes, cityscapes and slices of daily life. Only there’s one catch – these oil paintings are stylized to look like minature models.

    Amazing. I wonder if she takes a picture of a model and then paints from that picture.

    These are wonderful. There's something very sinister and/or mysterious going on in a few of them. Very compelling to look at.

    Stylized - yes, but intentionally made to look like miniature models, I'm not really seeing it.

    she actually builds the model and paints from it. that's why it has that look.

    Some very nice art. And some very cunning social criticism. Very impressed.
