Can you hear the beautiful song?

Robin bird in an elder bush is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute redbreast European Robin - Erithacus rubecula - sits on a branch in an elder bush and sings a beautiful song for you. It is surrounded by the fresh green foliage of the bush. The orange-red breast of the songbird shines out from the different shades of green in the background.
With its song, the bird enchants the bird lover and the gardener in the spring and summer garden.

I'm not superstitious, but I'm still always very happy when I discover a four-leaf clover or a ladybug.

A lucky day is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by artist Karen Kaspar
The watercolor painting is built up of many layers of different bright fresh green tones and shows the abstracted detail of a wildflower meadow with many four-leaf clovers. On one of the clovers sits a red ladybird with black dots. Due to the strong complementary contrast between red and green, this little lucky ladybird is the focus of the picture and attracts attention. The four-leaf clovers and the ladybird are symbols of luck. I wish you that this picture brings a lot of luck and joy into your home.

Look behind the scenes of producing my podcast episode about moss and how moss took revenge (I don't know why): https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/5d8402be-ad02-4d23-8c3b-4e42daf6a9b0 Of course you can listen to the episode now!

I find Coyotes beautiful in spite of their bad reputation. It’s exciting to find and capture them.

I love where I live, but while I'm traveling, I frequently see places that make me stop and think, "I'd like to live there."

But as I'm an ordinary person without the finances to own multiple homes, I just take a look, grab a reference photo, and back in my studio, paint the moment.

Sometimes spring is subtle, arriving slowly and quietly, in a calm and measured manner.

But quite often she arrives audaciously, flinging color and beauty over a landscape that, just a few minutes before it seems, was drab and grey.

Either way or in between she is welcome, always welcome.

May you find a place of silence today, of calmness where you can step away from the noise -- and this noise isn't just auditory, it is visual as well, piercing our soul with its discord.

And in this silent place, may you feel the sunshine on your face, a golden glow that warms you completely, starting on the outside and working its way completely in and through your being.

What are we to believe, in a world in which we are told so many, many lies?

I start by finding some small thing that I know to be true, some element of beauty or goodness that is so right, so precious, that there is no ugliness or deceit in it.

And I build upon that.

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.

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." — Christopher Parker

Notice things.

Sometimes, when I'm out walking, I spot something and snap a picture. Unlike the days of film, there’s no cost to taking the shot—even if it seems unremarkable at the time. But later, as I sift through the photos, I notice details I overlooked. When I took this particular shot, I focused on the birds without really seeing the forest around them. I’m not sure what species they are, but I’d guess they belong to the local pigeon battalion.

"This image beautifully captures a forest scene during autumn, with trees displaying a mix of golden yellow and green foliage. The sky is a vibrant blue with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. Adding an element of movement to the tranquil landscape, several birds are seen soaring high above the treetops. The framing includes branches on both sides, creating a natural border that enhances the depth of the scene. The contrast between the rich autumn colors and the crisp sky makes this an eye-catching photograph, highlighting both the serenity and liveliness of nature." - Copilot

Decided to make my art focus on useful plants for a while, brushing up on several skills to see if I can pull together something both useful and pretty. Need to brush up on my fonts, but not until I finish sketching the pollinator garden.
#art #sketchbook #nature #foraging

Sketch of a salsify plant, flower, and seed and a sketch of a maple seedling, alongside text that reads, "Been living off the land a little more this week, gathered a table with several samples to sketch while I listen to nature sounds from the Ozarks. Found and positively identified salsify, one of those veggies we loved back in ye olde days of yore. Collected a sample to take home and sketch, then I cut the greenery off and planted the root before the rains begin. I also gathered seed, planted some, and will save the rest. Might try indoors soon. Bolted stalks were easy to spot above the grass, was glad I went when I did, it was next to a field that was recently mowed, their field was probably next. Found a bunch of maple seedlings, washed them with vinegar and gave to the birds, weaving between the bars of the cage. Made me realize I could grow maple and elm indoors for the birds. Seedlings gently pulled up are doing okay in water, also planted samara.

Sketch of an ash branch, noting it's a safe wood for pets, but not as tasty as elm samara. (Elm samara are round, ash is long) Samara means winged seed. Notes that I'm practicing my landscape in a trailer park, doodle of one of our streets with a kid's bike laying down, a focus on sketching trees at various distances.

Yosemite Valley Panoramic

This is a panoramic image of Yosemite Valley. I created this by taking a series of images from the Tunnel View parking lot and stitched them together.
This was taken in early spring so Bridal Veil Falls was flowing at capacity in the lower part of the image. This image captures most of the major formations in Yosemite Valley.
