Sunflower seeds for lunch is an ink drawing coloured with watercolours in landscape format by the artist Karen Kaspar. The drawing in black ink shows a cute little blue tit sitting on a faded sunflower and looking upwards. Above it hangs a second large withered sunflower blossom with ripe sunflower seeds. The little bird seems to be choosing a few seeds for breakfast or lunch. I have coloured the drawing with loose brushstrokes and splashes of paint using watercolours in yellow, green, blue and brown.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

Spring is in the air... Enjoy your day! Birds in a spring forest - handmade paper collage --> karenkasparartprints.com/featured/bir... --> www.pictorem.com/2486924/bird... #spring #seasons #collage #paper #art #painting #watercolor #birds #BirdArt #nature #wildlife #trees #gifts

Birds in a spring forest is a handmade paper collage in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
The picture shows three red birds sitting on slender branches of tall, slender trees. The tree trunks in dark brown tones stand out against the background in bright lime green colors. The first fresh light green leaves sprout from the branches.
The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the background painted with watercolors and combined with the watercolor birds.
The spring picture is minimalist and conveys a calm, relaxed and peaceful mood. The scene has a charming and whimsical feel with a simple composition.
The picture is part of my mini-series of four collages, each showing three red birds in the forest in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Sparrow meeting part one is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
This painting is part of my mini-series of three paintings - Sparrow Meeting One, Two and Three. Each of these paintings shows a female sparrow sitting on a branch. Each of these pictures can be hung on its own. However, the three paintings can also be perfectly combined to form a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.

Finished just in time for today's World Sparrow Day... Friendly sparrows on a branch part one - hand-painted watercolor painting --> karenkasparartprints.com/featured/fri... #sparrow #WorldSparrowDay #art #painting #contemporaryArt #watercolor #birds #BirdArt #birding #nature #wildlife #animals

Friendly Sparrows on a Branch Part One is a portrait-format watercolor painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

A delicate watercolor painting depicts a male sparrow sitting on a branch and looking cheerfully to the right. The background features an abstract design with vibrant splashes of pink, orange and blue, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere. The bright colors accentuate the sparrows plumage and highlight the birds delicate features.

Perhaps the songbird is perched in a garden, in a tree with bright blossoms in spring, or against a colourful sky in the morning or evening. Or is the colourful foliage of the trees already glowing in the background in autumn? Perhaps the bird lives in the city, whose vibrant colours shine in the background.
The abstraction leaves room for your own interpretation.

This painting is part of my small series of three watercolors, each depicting a sparrow on a branch against a colorful background.

Portrait of a Blue-Eyed Cat is a cat portrait painted with soft pastels by artist Karen Kaspar. A beautiful Siamese cat with bright blue eyes has been painted against an abstract background whose tones of blue and purple reflect the color of the eyes. To add tension to the portrait, I only painted half of the head and upper body in an exceptional vertical panorama format.
