Great white sharks are perhaps the most feared predators in the ocean. But what might they fear? Probably orcas. In the Gulf of California, the killer whales have been spotted hunting young great whites by flipping them over before eating their energy-filled liver. Blech. It’s wild out there. @CBSNews has the story:

Almost the entire population of southern resident killer whales gathered in central Puget Sound on Sunday, but the newest member of J Pod, a newborn known as J64, was not among them.

In a snowy winter landscape in soft blue tones, three bright red birds sit on bare branches of tall, slender tree trunks that stand out in dark brown against the light winter background. Large white snowflakes are falling.
The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the watercolor background and combined with the watercolor birds.
The winter picture is minimalist and conveys a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Birds in a spring forest is a handmade paper collage in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
The picture shows three red birds sitting on slender branches of tall, slender trees. The tree trunks in dark brown tones stand out against the background in bright lime green colors. The first fresh light green leaves sprout from the branches.
The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the background painted with watercolors and combined with the watercolor birds.
The spring picture is minimalist and conveys a calm, relaxed and peaceful mood. The scene has a charming and whimsical feel with a simple composition.
The picture is part of my mini-series of four collages, each showing three red birds in the forest in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Smiling Robin is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small European Robin with a bright orange breast stands on a light blue shadow. The background is minimalist and emphasises the colorful presence of the bird. The little bird looks towards the viewer and seems to smile at him in a friendly manner.
Like other songbirds, the robin is a welcome guest in my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.

Take a deep breath is a combination of ink drawing and watercolour painting by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute cat sniffs at pink carnation blossoms. The kitten has closed its eyes and seems to enjoy the scent of the flowers with a smile. Take a deep breath and relax. The black minimalist ink drawing of the cat on a white background and the loose watercolour washes of the flowers in vivid shades of pink and green create an exciting pictorial effect.

Collage of four watercolor paintings, each depicting two cats together. Two cats and a full moon, two cats under a colorful sky, two cats meet under the mistletoe and you and me together - a black cat and a white cat seen from above are cuddling together. They form a circle like the yin and yang symbol on an abstract watercolor background in teal and indigo. All paintings by Karen Kaspar.
