Blue Companions

Here is an Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) pair. The larger bluebird on the right is an adult male, and to his left is a juvenile bluebird.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"Two Eastern Bluebirds perch side by side on a thin powerline, suspended against a soft, blurred wash of green foliage. The bird on the right is an adult male, and he looks almost luminous — his head and back a bright, clean blue, his chest a warm, rusty orange that seems to glow against the muted background. His posture is upright and alert, as if he’s keeping watch over the scene.

Beside him, on the left, sits a juvenile bluebird. It’s smaller, rounder, and softer in color — its feathers a mix of dusky blue and gray, with faint speckles across the chest that hint at youth. The young bird’s posture is more relaxed, almost leaning toward the adult, giving the pair a quiet, intimate feel, like a parent and child sharing a moment of calm.

The powerline beneath them is a simple dark line, cutting cleanly across the frame, giving the birds a stage to rest on. Behind them, the background melts into gentle shades of green, out of focus, making the birds stand out sharply — two small, vivid lives perched together in a peaceful, suspended moment." - Microsoft Copilot

Great tit is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A cute great tit sits on a branch and looks towards the viewer. While I painted the bird in more detail, I kept the background more abstract for contrast, but used the same colours of vibrant yellow, green and teal.

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.

Sweet bird is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute little bird is sitting on a branch and is looking to the right side. The bird seems to be smiling.
The inspiration for this bird portrait was a female house sparrow sitting in a bush in our garden. But I was in the mood for some soft candy pastel colors. So it became a fantasy bird in colorful shades of teal, yellow and pink. The abstract background echoes these colors.

FIRST LOOK at my upcoming bag charm collection featuring my favourite subject: BIRDS!

One design is still missing, but I will be releasing the collection Friday or Saturday!

I have been working really hard on creating the perfect outdoorsy companions for bird lovers, featuring (mostly) birds that are endemic to my part of Europe and that I have had the pleasure of observing in the wild 💕
I’m very excited!

Good morning. ☕☕☕

13 May 2025

Hopefully, today is a yardwork day. I tend to put things off whenever I feel like it, but the ever-growing grass serves as a reminder that I need to take action—kind of like my cluttered desktop. For weeks, I've been telling myself I need to clear it off, yet I let things stay there simply as reminders that each item requires attention. You see how that works, right? Then there's the water bottle in the corner—I have no idea why it's there, but it's been sitting for a while. A mystery not worth solving. I also need to vacuum my office floor. The Roomba comes through every morning, but lately, it just seems to shuffle things around.
