New Painting

This morning the alarm clock woke me up so suddenly and from such a fun dream that I started me day off on a very grumpy note, which isn't like me at all.
So, after Daniel left for school, I immediately went up to my studio and painted for two hours straight.
Out came something quite unexpected. I've been in such a red-color phase lately and the poppies from the little bags I recently made have obviously stayed on my mind...
I'm not usually a flower painter, but this one I really love! If you love it, too, you can find it in my Art Etsy Shop. {Sold already!! Thank you, Audrey!}

Painting did the trick! I feel so much better! Now I even feel up for a little tidying around the house before going to my etching class.

Wishing you a non-grumpy, very creative and most excellent day!!

  3. Silke, I too, woke suddenly this morning from a deep sleep ~ it left me with a headache but guided me to your blog and this "poppy" beauty. Had to snatch it up ~ LOVE it! I've been wanting a piece of your art and this one called out to me this morning!
    Have a beautiful Thursday!

  9. Oh no, somebody beat me to it. I would have bought that painting on the spot. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Could you make another one???? It's just what I have been looking for for my Livingroom, in those same colors, maybe even bigger? Well something so beautiful came out of your grumpy mood, how amazing is that.

    Here is hoping your day will get better and keep on smiling.

    Hugs Erika
