"I don’t believe the authors mean a Jekyll-­and-­Hyde situation or multiple personalities elbowing one another out of the driver’s seat of a single consciousness. I rather think they are envisioning one animal, one starfish, simultaneously living many lives." — Mandy-Suzanne Wong longreads.com/2026/02/05/mandy

      karen-kaspar.pixels.com/featur

      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.

                            New to me: French musician Plumes, singing to animals. Here he is with a llama.

                            His channel: youtube.com/@Plumesmusic/featu

                            I went to find more information about Plumes, and found this article. I loved reading this: “My mom films all my videos.”
                            a-z-animals.com/articles/this-

                            Armed with his flamingo-pink guitar and a heart for animals, Plumes has made it his mission to bring acoustic melodies to camels, giraffes, monkeys, and even the elusive okapi.

                            “I just wanted to see if cows really liked music,” he says of the experiment that launched it all.

                                                Pink Cat and Orange Bird is an abstract acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A pink cat sits in front of an abstract light green background and looks into the distance to the far left. There, a small bird sits on a branch and sings its song. The cat seems to be listening attentively to the bird. The picture is also excellent for decorating a child's room.

A black cat sits under trees in autumn and is surrounded by colourful leaves in warm fall colors of yellow, orange and red.

While I painted the bird in more detail, I kept the background more abstract for contrast, but used the same colours of vibrant yellow, green and teal.
