Watching you is a detail in landscape format from my watercolour painting I am watching you, which I painted in portrait format. In this detail, which only shows the head and part of the owl's upper body, the focus is on the eyes, which scrutinise the viewer intensely.
Here is the description of the original in portrait format:
I am watching you is a watercolor painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. An owl is sitting on a branch. It has lowered its head and looks at the viewer with a penetrating gaze from its bright orange eyes. The plumage is painted with loose brushstrokes in shades of blue and brown. The background is white with splashes of colour in the same shades as the owl's feathers.

Last weekend, by pure chance (was looking for reed buntings), I got my second¹ proper shot of a kingfisher – and then another one, right when it blinked.

a robin follows

Robin on a perch is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small robin with bright orange breast feathers stands on a square wooden perch and looks around with interest. The bird was painted with loose brushstrokes and the background was left white.
The soft watercolour style gives the overall picture a gentle and dreamy touch.

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.

As promised earlier today, here's a couple of shots of one of the yellow-headed amazons living in Stuttgart's Rosenstein Park. Their calls sound somewhat human/child-like, which is rather bewildering at first – until you look up and are even more bewildered at the sight of a bright green parrot.

Descending from an escapee pair in the 1980s, there's now about 60 of them. More info in German: https://www.stuttgarter-amazonen.de

A collage made out of four work in progress stages of my acrylic painting, from pencil sketch to finished painting. Robin in the green is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A European Robin sits on a branch and looks to the left. The background is abstractly painted in different shades of light green. The orange-red breast feathers of the songbird stand out against the green.
The robin is a welcome visitor to my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.
