Quiet Afternoon (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Irina Plaksina

This acrylic painting on paper shows a green bear surrounded by peaches and a sliced orange.
I wanted the bear to feel gentle and slightly dreamy, almost childlike, as if it exists in a warm, quiet world where fruit floats like small suns.

The simplified shapes, soft brushstrokes, and warm yellow background are inspired by naïve art and intuition rather than realism. I work quickly and freely, allowing color and mood to lead the composition. This painting is about calm joy, playfulness, and a sense of inner balance.

Some parts of the painting are made as collage elements. Paper for collage elements is handmade.

Signed on the back and on the front.
