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.

On the catwalk is a hand-painted acrylic painting in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
A black cat balances on the thin bar of a wooden fence. The elegant pose with its paws placed in front of each other and its tail curved upwards gives the impression that the beautiful animal with its shiny black fur is walking on a catwalk like a model. The cat's yellow-green eyes are directed attentively to the left, conveying a sense of curiosity or concentration.
The background is abstracted in bright lime green and light green shades, suggesting a natural environment such as the foliage of bushes or trees.
The picture is painted with loose and expressive brushstrokes.

Yellow Coneflower is a hand-painted acrylic painting in landscape format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A fully blossomed single flower of a rudbeckia or coneflower with long curved petals in bright yellow and orange tones stands out against an abstract textured background in various shades of green. The loose brushstrokes and diagonal composition of the painting give it a dynamic feel, as if the blossom is dancing in the summer breeze in a summer garden.

Sweet home is a landscape painting in acrylic painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The abstracted dream landscape in expressive colours shows a small white house in the middle of a yellow field, perhaps a rape field in spring or a sunflower field in summer or ripe grain in autumn. Above the field stretches a wide sky with dark blue storm clouds. Rays of sunlight illuminate the field and the house. The picture was painted with loose expressive brushstrokes. The colour contrast between the field in bright yellow and orange tones and the sky in dark blue and violet tones emphasises the painting's bright expressive effect.
