The beauty of pumpkins and gourds is in how long one can keep them without spoiling. Whenever I’m low on fruits or veggies, I turn to these! They come in variety of shapes and colors, and they’re just fun to paint in general. This time, I decided to make a painting of this yellow gourd. Half way through the composition, I’ve noticed that I centered this fella >.< It was too late to start over, so I decided to add a couple of seeds to offset the symmetry. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out ^^
Hi! My name is Oksana Ossipov, and I’m a visual artist and photographer. I was born in Ukraine and currently reside in the area of Dallas, Texas. My formal education includes a BFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University. After moving to Texas, I started to focus on my fine art skills and figurative art in particular. I studied for 5 years under Michael Mentler at the Society of Figurative Arts. Through my life, I’ve also acquired a multitude of skills that include web development, sculpting, photography, art studio and business management, and baking awesome blueberry scones!
I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to the art over the past few years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, the workshop, class, and art supply costs present a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a shop full of artworks and creations, but even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
