The Magpie

A bird’s noise is enough to bring back memories of months spent half-trapped because of a magpie.

A goldcrest hangs on a mossy tree
searching for food

It tourns it's head a little
and the golden feather line is vissible now

I was in the mood for some soft and dreamy pastel colors, so I painted this little pastel bird. Enjoy!

A small bird sits on a branch and looks to the left. The bird has plumage in delicate pastel shades of purple, pink and blue. The background is abstract and repeats the colors of the bird's feathers. The gentle hues create a serene and whimsical atmosphere.

I was woken this morning by two kookaburras making a racket down the side passage. Turns out their beaks were stuck together (!)

While they scrambled and fought, trying to pull apart, a currawong sat on the fence commentating the life-or-death struggle.

After my sleepy brain had made sense of what the bloody hell was going on, I fetched some gloves and gently prised them apart. They both flew off in high dudgeon.

What a surreal start to the day.

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.

Robin on a perch is a hand-painted watercolor 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.
Here you see the painting on a wall in a living room setting.

Shifting to a new topic...

Our Local Gem #SweetwaterWetlandsPark in #Gainesville #Florida

Here are two endemic #SandhillCranes that nest in our area. They do not migrate with their northern kin and are slightly smaller. At one point I was about ten feed away from them. 🙂

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.

Our rufous hummingbirds fly south from British Columbia for the winter but the Anna's stick around. Feeling sorry for the hummers in Florida at the moment...

Just completed my "Old Man and the Gulf" expedition into the unique #Everglades wilderness ecosystem. This is my 30th such trip!

https://richard.mdpaths.com/travel/everglades/everglades_2026/index.html

This was my first trip using a folding sea-kayak. And the first year I mostly stayed in one place... read, explored, and meditated on "Life, the Universe, and Everything."

I think I mentioned the colony of cormorants hanging out on the coast near my house in winter before.
Here they are:

Manche Schwanzmeisen sind beinahe schneeweiß, wieder andere sehen aus wie dieses schöne Exemplar

#GeschichtenAusDemGarten #birds #birdphotography

Eine Schwanzmeise bei trübem Wetter im Pflaumenbaum. Die Farben des Gefieders: ein elegantes Grau mit Schwarz, einige weiße Akzente und einen rostbraunen Farbtupfer. Die Meise zeigt sich von der linken Seite, sie schaut nach links in Richtung der Betrachterin.
