The Xerces Blue (Glaucopsyche xerces), the namesake of the @xercessociety.bsky.social They used to live in the meadows and sand dunes around San Francisco, before urban expansion and loss of habitat pushed them to extinction in the 1940s.

The coyote is resilience.

Art is a ritual. For me, drawing can be the act of invoking a feeling or a message, even imparting magic.

Digital illustration of a grey squirrel perched on top of a great blue herons head. Both of them are facing the left and their eyes are squinting menacingly. The squirrel is holding a small silver sword. It is sunrise and the sky is a yellow to blue gradient with subtle clouds overhead.

Evolving from my canvas today is the seriously underrated Sparrow. I love these little guys and I’m really enjoying creating him. Wool on canvas #artwip #wip #britishbirds #birdart #textileart

A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage is sitting on a slender branch. The bird is looking to the left. The delicate feathers of the small bird are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones. Sparrow meeting part three 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 a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.

reading the tomcat’s body language ‘do not disturb’ The portrait of a sitting cat is a hand-painted pastel painting by the artist Karen Kaspar. A brown and red tabby cat sits in the green grass with its back to the viewer and its head turned backwards. It is looking directly at the viewer. 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 soft pastels painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

In this handmade watercolor I wanted to capture the beauty of a peach-orange Rose blossom and the scent of flowers, fresh fruits and summer feelings. Enjoy!

Spreading some spring vibes with my hand-painted acrylic painting Blooming Apple Tree!

Blooming apple tree is an acrylic painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. An apple tree with bright pink blossoms stands in the middle of a lush green meadow against a blue sky. The tree stretches a branch with blossoms towards the viewer, so that they appear close enough to touch and you can almost smell the enchanting scent of the apple blossom. Loose brushstrokes create a vibrant sense of texture and bring the scene to life with bright and cheerful colours. The apple trees that stand like colourful bouquets of flowers in the spring meadows, attracting bees and insects, inspired me to create this colourful painting.

Close ups of some of my latest works in progress - pencils have to be worked in different ways on each of them to get the different textures, but all take a lot of layering up. #art #drawing #animals

To tone the base of a painting, I usually transfer a sketch (sometimes with rough shading) first. I'll spray that with fixative, and wipe paint on with a microfiber cloth. When that dries I might add more depth with the same base color, or go right into colors.

if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create

Coldwater Canyon, 1/5/25

Blue gum eucalyptuses, native to Australia, introduced to SoCal in the 1860s. They spread fire with volatile oils, peeling bark that dries out, heavy shedding of flammable litter, and wood that burns hot and long.

Restoring native plants is key to reducing wildfire risk.
A landscape painting, oriented vertically, showing a distant hillside sprinkled with buildings and the valley and San Gabriel mountains even further beyond. Two eucalyptus trees are in the immediate foreground, framing the composition. The scene is shown at sunset, and the sky fades from a very light blue at the top to soft warm hues as it nears the mountains. The mountains are rendered in cool light tones indicating that they are far in the distance. The location “Coldwater Canyon” is written beneath the piece, and the date “25 01 05” to the left.

A few years ago I had the privilege to meet a pack of young wolves up in a zoo in the far north of Norway. It was an amazing experience, They were very much, and yet not at all, like dog puppies.
The experience still gives inspiration to my art

#animalart #wolfart #wildlifemeeting #wildlifeart
A photo of me from many years ago with four wolf puppies around me. The environment is a green, brushy mountain side, with low berch trees behind me. I am kneeled, holding one pup halfway. Two are laying in front of me, one biting the front leg of the other, while the fourth wals in front of me. The sun is shining on the scene. A drawing in brown colored pencil on white paper of three wolf pups sitting huddles together. The style is a bit sketch.like, the background white Quick sketches in graphite pencil of sleeping wolf pups on white papes. Spread on the paper are half finished drawings of heads, bodies and backs of a sleeping pup A highly detailed painting in watercolor of a mother wolf laying with a sleeping pup in front of her. The pup is laying on its back, head turned to the left, enjoying the licking of the mum on its belly. There is a dark background, and the light is coming from the right behind the animals There is lots of detail in the fur and grass
