A cute black and white kitten sits in the snow wearing a red Santa hat with a white bobble. A red Christmas ornament lies next to it. The background is created in soft blue tones as an abstract winter landscape. Snowflakes trickle gently from the sky and spread a wintery atmosphere. The little Tuxedo cat with green eyes is smiling and looking forward to Christmas. The bright red Christmas baubles and the Santa hat adds a festive touch to the scene. Christmas kitten in the snow is a hand-painted watercolor painting in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.

Many thanks to the art lover from New York for purchasing a framed print of my pencil drawing Pear with leaves.

karenkasparartprints.com/featured/pea...

#fruit #food #art #pencil #BlackAndWhite #illustration #drawing #zeichnung #art #handmade #kunst #giftideas #prints #artwork #wallart
Pear with Leaves is a pencil drawing in portrait format drawn by the artist Karen Kaspar. A fresh pear hangs from a branch and is framed by three leaves. The background is abstracted. The black and white drawing was drawn on a light beige toned paper. The somewhat irregular coloring of the paper gives the image a vintage look, as if the drawing is from a bygone era or from an old book.

a brown and crisp heap the young hedgehog knows where to hibernate A small hedgehog peers curiously out of a pile of vibrant autumn leaves that he has gathered for the winter. Its brown fur blends harmoniously into the warm tones of the surroundings bathed in the golden autumn sun. The background features rich, warm colors, creating a cozy atmosphere. Hedgehog in autumn foliage is a hand-painted watercolour painting by artist Karen Kaspar. This artwork, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) 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.

Inspired by the beautiful shapes of the dancing shadows cast on the ground by the flowers on my patio I painted this loose and spontaneous Indigo flowers handmade watercolor painting

Indigo flowers is a watercolor painting in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar. It shows silhouettes of flowers in shades of blue and teal on a white background. A single stem with leaves and blossoms is depicted, with splashes and drips adding an abstract quality to the representation. The leaves and blossoms vary in shape and opacity, creating a sense of movement and fluidity.

I really love it, when cats from the neighbourhood come to visit our garden. It's always a wonderful inspiration for paintings.

Today I had great fun creating this paper collage for day 1 of the Mix or Match Collage Challenge by FineArtAmerica.

Birds in a winter forest - Watercolor, acrylics, paper collage
--> karenkasparartprints.com/featured/bir...

#collage #paper #art #watercolor #birds #nature #winter #trees #snow
Birds in a Winter Forest is a handmade paper collage by artist Karen Kaspar. In a snowy winter landscape in soft blue tones, three bright red birds sit on bare branches of tall, slender tree trunks that stand out in dark brown against the light winter background. Large white snowflakes are falling. The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the watercolor background and combined with the watercolor birds. The winter picture is minimalist and conveys a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

hibernation - I am struck by an attack of hedgehog envy Sleeping hedgehog in winter is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar. A hedgehog snuggles up under a snow-covered fir tree in a peaceful winter forest, peacefully dreaming and hibernating. Soft blue tones and light snowfall create a peaceful winter landscape. This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) 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. In my portfolio there is also a variant with the poem in Dutch (see my collection 'Haiku and Paintings Dutch'). The painting is also available without text (see my collection 'Animal paintings').

Garden Of The Gods And Pikes Peak

The Garden Of The Gods is a beautiful geological area just outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Garden Of The Gods And Pikes Peak You're standing before a majestic landscape in Colorado Springs, where nature’s drama unfolds in layers. In the foreground, jagged red rock formations rise like ancient spires from the earth—sharp, rust-colored ridges that catch the sunlight and cast deep shadows. Beyond the rocks, the land stretches toward the horizon, where Pikes Peak looms in the distance. Its summit is dusted with snow, glowing faintly under a soft sky that transitions from pale blue to hints of golden light. The air feels crisp, and the scene is alive with quiet grandeur. Wildlife roams freely here: you might imagine the silent watch of a mountain lion, the soaring flight of an eagle, or the gentle rustle of deer in the brush. The overall mood is one of reverence and awe. It’s a place where earth meets sky, where solitude and scale converge, and where the human spirit feels both humbled and uplifted.

1953 chevy truck. Green with lots of rust. Great patina. An elegant vintage 1950's example of Americana makes great artwork for home, man cave garage or office.
