Poppy Dream is a hand-painted watercolor painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
Two bright red poppies bloom against a background of fresh yellow and green tones. The flowers are depicted in a loose and airy manner and contrast with the background, the delicate green stems and a single unopened bud. The softly blurred depiction of the petals lends the picture a calm, dreamy and ethereal quality.

Robin in a holly bush is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A robin sits on a branch in a holly bush and looks to the right. It is surrounded by green leaves and red berries. The background is painted with loose brushstrokes in different shades of green, which form a strong color contrast to the red winter berries of the bush and the red-orange breast feathers of the bird. The Ilex is also called Holly or Christmas Holly. The evergreen branches with the red fruits are often used for Christmas decorations.

A wide angle view of a sunset over a lake as it transitions to night. The lake reflects the sky making the whole picture symmetrical from top to bottom. In the middle of the photo a thin row of black sand dunes are like beads on a string. Dark blue clouds create interesting patterns. A thin orange sunset betrays the last rays of the sun peaking over the horizon. I have been traveling this week so I pulled this photo from September.

I photographed this flower at my home in Sydney as a still life image from a native bouquet which was given to me as a gift.

A vibrant Protea flower displays striking yellow and orange hues with long, thin petals extending outward. The flower contrasts beautifully against a dark background, highlighting its unique structure and vivid colors.

This flower is a Pincushion Protea (Leucospermum species), native to South Africa and also grown in parts of Australia.
It is characterized by its striking, spherical flower head made up of long, slender, brightly colored styles—usually yellow, orange, or red—that resemble pins in a pincushion. The bloom is supported by leathery green leaves, and the plant is well-adapted to dry, sunny environments, making it a popular ornamental in gardens and floral arrangements.
Leucospermum cordifolium is an upright, evergreen shrub of up to 1½ m high from the Proteaceae. The flower heads are globe-shape with a flattened top, 10–12 cm in diameter, and are carried individually or with two or three together mostly at a right angle to its branch. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Leucospermum cordifolium
Family: Proteaceae
Genus: Leucospermum

<p>We just spent 4 days at Katmai National Park during what is supposed to be the slow season. We got lucky with huge sockeye salmon run, fine weather, and anywhere from 4 to 14 bears around Brooks Falls. Amazing experience!</p><p><a href="/tags/bears/" rel="tag">#bears</a> <a href="/tags/bearsofkatmai/" rel="tag">#BearsOfKatmai</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#nature</a> <a href="/tags/katmainationalpark/" rel="tag">#KatmaiNationalPark</a> <a href="/tags/alaska/" rel="tag">#Alaska</a> <a href="/tags/wildlife/" rel="tag">#Wildlife</a></p>

A short and wide waterfall with river to the right has 11 brown bears standing and sitting in the water. Two are at the top of the falls looking at salmon jumping. More bears are below the falls surrounded by red sockeye salmon barely visible below the water’s surface. One salmon is visible jumping toward the falls. The background is green vegetation of willows and deciduous trees.

Abstract Fall Leaves is a handmade acrylic painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The autumn sun shines through the leaves of a maple tree and bathes the colourful autumn leaves in a warm golden light. The leaves glow in warm autumn colours of yellow, orange, red, brown and green.

A close-up view of a green leaf with a soft, blurred background of more greenery. The leaf has a slender shape with a subtle central vein. The outer leaf protectively cups the the central shoot which has yet to open.

Three pink Zinnias is a watercolour painting in a modern square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. On a white background float three beautiful zinnia flowers in bright pink and rose, surrounded by fresh green leaves. I have kept this watercolour loose and fresh like a summer garden, with a vivid colour contrast between the pink flowers and the background of green leaves and the diagonal composition within the square format.
