this makes me think of Sunday visits to the uncle's farm, barking dogs to announce our arrival, chickens, cows, piglets, big mid-day meals, and sharing secrets with cousins in a fort made of hay bales. Nostalgia is not a strategy, altho it can still hug your heart.

I took this photo of a Nymphaea 'Pink Pearl' waterlily at a nearby Buddhist monastery in Hualien, Taiwan. It's close to my house. 😍

My husband said "why don't you paint one of your dark ones?" 🤣 I just never know what's going to come out...

I was in the mood for some soft and dreamy pastel colors, so I painted this little pastel bird. Enjoy!

Pastel bird on a branch is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A small bird sits on a branch and looks to the left. The bird has plumage in delicate pastel shades of purple, pink and blue. The background is abstract and repeats the colors of the bird's feathers. The gentle hues create a serene and whimsical atmosphere.

abstract: watercolour with blooms, pink blue, ink and white gel pen, ribboned staircase with sponge-like forms, stacks of cascading stones, a few leaves. yes I am weird.

okay - i've been working on other stuff but found this in my working file, so here is my post for week 3's polka dots. It's a pie crust top on a blueberry pie - sorry kind of a cheat #foodart #mixedmedia52 #mm52w3 #artchallenge #polkadot #onlybeautifulthings
sugared pie crust, with polka dot cut outs and flowers formed from the cut outs, blueberry filling poking thru.

Sorry this is a short week but we gotta start somewhere. Like the card says, post it any time. If it helps your own art journey, add the hashtag #mm52w1 for the specific week. Have fun!
