Yellow day (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Irina Plaksina

Yellow Day is a warm, joyful acrylic painting inspired by bright poppy flowers and domestic cats lazily resting outdoors on a summer day. The image combines a dreaming yellow cat with a vibrant bouquet of flowers, creating a playful yet calming atmosphere filled with sunlight and ease.

I used a multilayer technique, which gives the surface an expressive texture and adds depth and richness to the colors. The dominant yellow tones enhance the feeling of warmth, light, and serenity, while the bold floral shapes bring energy and rhythm to the composition.

Through this painting, I wanted to convey a sense of peace and relaxation. Cats have a unique ability to truly rest and enjoy the moment, and this calm, unhurried mood is at the heart of Yellow Day. The artwork invites the viewer to slow down, breathe, and feel the simple happiness of a quiet summer moment.

Signed on the back and on the front.
