Ladybugs on chamomile Painting

My name is Elena. I am an artist from Siberia. From early childhood, like many others, I was very fond of drawing. When I was in school, I mainly drew graphic works in pencil on paper. These were sketches of people and animals. While receiving higher pedagogical education at the institute, I took courses "Fundamentals of Painting and Graphics" and "Fundamentals of Decorative and Applied Arts". She worked as a teacher of fine arts at school for several years. I always wanted to draw for my heart, but I had little free time - work, family, children, and most importantly - indecision. A turning point in my work was a visit to the exhibition of the famous artist Nikas Safronov, which took place in our city in the fall of 2015. Since that time, everything has changed. Now I devote any free minute to oil painting. I mainly portray animals, flowers, plants. They always delight and inspire me! I love to paint pictures in the style of realism. This technique requires careful drawing, so it takes from a week to a month to create one picture. You can see my works in my store in the saatchiart gallery: .kozyutenko or my Instagram profile: If my works find a response in your heart, I will be very happy!
