I already know what the third painting is going to be, but I have no idea about the background in the lower right corner. I just don't quite see it yet...
The armadillo is a little more whimsical than my "normal" paintings, but then armadillos are really whimsical creatures. I had never seen them in the wild really until a few years ago. We were down at Cape Canaveral National Seashore around this time of year and saw them everywhere. Their faces are just adorable!

During the last few weeks Daniel and I went to see these two movies and we loved both of them! Not only where they good stories with good actors, but the costumes and the colors were just so beautiful!
It also made us both think back to the time when we weren't so connected electronically (both stories took place at a time before cell phones and such). We both love being connected to our families, friends and the world at large, but I sometimes find that I can barely remember what it was like to not be reachable around the clock. But only for a moment.
And then I remembered how much I love everything that's possible now - being able to skype with my family and friends in Germany, connecting with friends around the world with such ease, writing my blog, being connected to you, being incredibly inspired whenever I need it, taking online classes with people from around the world, many of whom have become dear friends, and, and, and.
How amazing that I get to live at a time when this is possible! Otherwise I probably would not have connected with most of you and I can't quite imagine that.
Speaking of connecting, I am linking again to the always wonderful Paint Party Friday and Creative Every Day.
I hope you will all have a wonderful weekend! And those of you in the path of the winter storm up north, stay safe! And warm!!
With love,

Love the wonderful colours in your work, good to see after all the ice and cold here. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove your intense color and loose style.
ReplyDeleteYou too stay safe, dear Silke - independently of snow storms.
ReplyDeleteI know so well what you mean about films/movies often showing such rapidly changing camera angles. How relaxing then to watch something different!
I really love your strong colors and style of painting. I am so glad to be able to meet you today and will come back again.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is a wonderful time of life. It always amazes me how I can become such good friends with people I have never met but because of the internet we are just a click away.
gorgeous colorful pieces! Love that sweet cow and armadillo! And you know what I see in the bottom right piece? I see someone embracing a puppy whose face is looking up to the person. Hubby and I really want to see these two movies-good to hear how much you enjoyed them. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the fantastic cow and the armadillo is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see more ‼
Happy weekend ♥
I've been so busy that I haven't seen either of those movies yet! I must get out more!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh!! I LOVE the cow. My goodness--I want to kiss it's face. xo
ReplyDeleteHello from PPF
ReplyDeleteYour work is wonderful and the magical creatures that you create are so very special.
As we are at the beginning of a blizzard here in the Wash DC area we watched an on demand movie on our Verizon EPIX called TANGERINES. What you noted about the two movies above is exactly what I said about this Russian film with thoughtful space and silence also.
These are exciting times to live in with so much to be grateful for.

Amazing ARTWORK!
ReplyDeleteOh, those colors and strong strokes and splashes of paint, I just love them! Fierce and powerful!
ReplyDeleteSilke, I have just discovered your blog! I thank you for putting me on your blogroll and will do the same. Your work is just sensational. I LOVE it, and you have inspired me to be looser, and more intuitive! Thank you, and I look forward to receiving your updates in my inbox! Laurie

ReplyDeleteI how I love your art!The cow and armadillo are just soooo special!! I'm glad you posted the colours so I could look for images too... The image is quite clear in the third one, but I also see a wild cat in the bottom right one!! I feel the same about technology... I separate myself from my phone though, leaving it where it can't be answered easily every moment of the day... it sets some great boundaries!! Thanks for sharing!!

This is the first time i came across your artwork and it is stunning. I loved the cow painting and the other works in progress.Happy weekend to you:)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your colourful backgrounds! The cow painting is precious, and in the one in the lower right corner I see a figure ....
ReplyDeleteArmadillo !!!! Perfect subject matter. I love to paint in the same colors. Thanks for sharing. HPF
ReplyDeleteO Gorgeous! Love the rich flow of colours!!!
ReplyDeleteEach one is fab!
Yes, that's so true...the world has just shrunk!! :)
Your brilliant and deep colors are so beautiful I could feast on them all day! I really admire all of them but the cow is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cow! I love the big nose and bright colors. And I want to see both of those films, but probably won't make it to the theater for them.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings presented a great collection with an explosion of colors and designs. Magnificent!
ReplyDeleteHugs Anja
Again two nice artworks from you in such fresh and bright colors. I like them both. I also want to watch the new movie with Cate Blanchett. I have seen the prefew a few days before and it looked promising.
ReplyDeleteDear greetings
