ゴイサギの幼鳥が歩道のすぐ側にいて流石に驚いた。
子供が写真を撮っている姿に気づかなかったら素通りしてた
親とはぐれてしまったのかな。

I'm happy that my watercolor painting 'Little Blue Tit on a branch' won third place in the Fine Art America contest 'Painting with yellow white green black blue only'.

‘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.

Dieses Bild ist Teil meiner Serie von Acrylgemälden in quadratischem Format mit dem Thema Meer und Strand, die ich im Sommer 2021 gemalt habe, inspiriert von Besuchen an der wunderschönen Ostseeküste.
Beim Betrachten fühle ich mich gleich wieder an den Strand zurückversetzt, fühle den Sommerwind und höre das Rauschen der Wellen und Rufen der Möwen...
Ich wünsche dir viel Freunde damit!

This week was the 18th birthday of fortnightly run route through southwestern Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ. This is my 10.1 km route where I've been counting and mapping all the birds and butterflies and assorted other species.

I started the route on 9 July 2008, while on parental leave, pushing my baby daughter around in a buggy during her afternoon nap. I wanted her to be able to know how the city's nature changes over her lifetime. I've been doing it ever since (and have added three other routes to cover other parts of the city).

In celebration of the route's 18th birthday, here are all the korimako (NZ bellbirds) I've seen and heard. Korimako have been a huge success story for the city. The native forest regeneration and pest control happening in the city's Port Hills have led to booming numbers of korimako, and the native tree plantings in the city have been attracting birds out from the hills.

As my run route has shown, within the city the korimako are mostly in areas of native tree plantings and in gardens with mature bird nectar plants (especially kōwhai, banksia, eucalyptus, and harakeke). Korimako are still largely absent from the areas of housing that don't have any of these.

(We still need many more native trees in the city if we want more native birds.)

A photo of the olive green fluffy butt of a korimako (NZ bellbird). This was one of two male birds feeding from flowers in a kōwhai tree I planted as a seedling (taken from my Granny's house) in the garden of our old house. This garden is now owned by some friends of ours.

A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage is sitting on a slender branch. The bird is looking to the right. 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 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.

There it is!
My illustrated and handprinted and hanbound calendar.
Every month presents a domestic bird screenprinted in two colors.

I‘m a bit happy. ☺️
