A close-up photo of a Eurasian coot in the water, facing right. The light catches its red eye, and its beak has a slight curve that makes it look like it's smiling. A tiny drop of water glistens at the tip of its beak.

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.

‘Little Blue Tit on a Branch’ is a portrait-format watercolor painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A little blue tit sits on a thin branch, looking to the right. Its blue and yellow plumage is reflected in the soft green tones of the abstract background.
Blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) are welcome visitors to the bird feeder and in my garden. I love watching them and they are always a welcome subject for new paintings.

Nesting season is here!
Peeking through the evergreen branches in the breeze, it's a treat to see these adorable, 9-10 days old Anna's Hummingbird chicks in their tiny nest, in their natural habitat with their protective, caring mother perched at the edge of the nest and even more special to capture their feeding.
The nestlings are growing strong day by day. Their eyes are already opened and can regulate their body temperature, so mom spends more time away from the nest, looking for insects for her babies as a great protein source. She usually returns and feed them in every 45 minutes.

Owl Sun Swirl by Lisa S. Baker

A luminous portrait of an owl surrounded by soft green, yellow, and golden tones, with gentle circular movement that gives the composition a warm and radiant feel. Layered brushwork and rich texture create a painterly sense of depth, while the owl's calm, focused expression keeps the piece grounded and serene. The blend of earthy greens and glowing light gives the artwork a balanced, natural beauty with a subtle sense of wonder.

Versammlung von Schwalben ist ein Aquarellgemälde im Querformat gemalt von der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar. Vor einem blauen Himmel mit weißen Wölkchen haben sich auf drei Stromleitungen Schwalben versammelt. Die Silhouetten der Vögel in dunklem Indigoblau heben sich deutlich gegen den Himmel ab. Einige der Schwalben sitzen auf den Leitungen und scheinen ein Schwätzchen zu halten. Andere fliegen gerade heran, um an der Versammlung teilzunehmen. Andere sind schon beim Abflug.
