Quiet place, peaceful spot, hidden away in a small grove of trees, do you know what's going on in the world?

"And what world?" you say. "This is the world, our world, and this is what goes on here.

"What goes on in yours?"

Not the flashiest of the new birds I met while in Sri Lanka, but this Asian Brown Flycatcher is a charming little fellow all the same.

Robin in a holly bush is a hand painted watercolour 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 colour 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.
The painting is also available in a square format and cropped to portrait format in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
Here I added the text Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as Christmas card design for your seasonal greetings.

I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings.
Here I have put the three paintings together in Photoshop to create a panoramic picture.

Three female sparrows with soft, fluffy plumage sit together on a slender branch and have a chat. The two birds on the left are looking to the right, the house sparrow on the far right is looking to the left towards the other two. The delicate feathers of the small songbirds are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm shades of brown, purple, earth and chocolate. The birds appear calm, creating a peaceful composition.

Had a lovely visitor to the garden the other day👇.

Haven't posted much lately. Been really busy, my big lens in on the fritz, & I'm getting ready for back surgery this fall so my posts/replies will be sporadic.

Closeup photograph of a yellow eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly grasping a pink bee balm floret with out of focus bee balm flowers and green foliage in the background. The butterfly takes up most of the right center frame. It is grasping a floret with its legs, its body is hanging downward, and its proboscis is inserted into the same floret down while facing the flower with its wings open leaving its back, the back of its head, and the back of its wings visible. Eastern tiger swallowtail butterflies have yellow wings with black edging, short black vertical stripes near the wing top, yellow and black veining, black edges along the sides and bottom of their wings with yellow scallop-shaped spotting and small metallic-blue and orange spots near the bottom-center of the wings, black bodies and heads covered in fine hairs, yellow stripes along either side of the back and head, large black compound eyes, two long, black antennae, and six black, segmented legs, and a long black proboscis used for probing the interiors of flower for nectar.

Buffleheads (Bucephala albeola) are cute but they dive ''all the time'' and you end up with a lot of photos of the sea. 😆 This is the female.

Le petit garrot est bien mignon mais il est toujours en train de plonger alors tu te retrouves avec plein de photos de la mer. Ceci est la femelle.
