        Golden cat in harmony with the flower of life - my new hand-painted acrylic painting
        --> karenkasparartprints.com/featu

        Canvas print on a living room wall - A cat sits with its back to the viewer, gazing at an intricate mandala pattern, the symbol of the Flower of Life. The cat and the abstract background are bathed in a warm golden light. The warm colours create a calm and contemplative atmosphere. The background of this hand-painted acrylic painting is abstract, rendered in shades of purple, pink and orange, and the circular symbol of the Flower of Life is clearly visible. The Flower of Life is an ancient, powerful symbol representing harmony, cosmic order and the cycle of life. The symbol consists of 19 circles that overlap one another and are enclosed by a single circle. It is said to act as an energetic protective symbol, strengthening positive energy and promoting the unity of body, mind and soul. In interior design, the painting can create a harmonious atmosphere and contribute to energetic harmonisation. The painting Golden Cat in Harmony with the Flower of Life is a hand-painted acrylic painting in a square format by the artist Karen Kaspar.

                      Don't Mess With the American Badger

                      "It's a Badger's World!" That what this 1980 Britannica film was originally titled—and we can't argue with that finding today. In this vintage educational piece, Britannica visits a badger family. We see a mother teaching her cubs to hunt and protect themselves against predators. We see badger cubs playing in the grass and cuddling in their dens."

                      youtube.com/watch?v=K4m4YxTdkoA

                      American Badger indicated by the white stripe on the head starting above the nose. Besides white it is also light brown and tan. It appears to have come from a dirt hole and looking toward the camera. You can see its long claws.

The abstract background consists of delicate shades of orange and pink. The minimalist composition draws attention to the contrast between the cat and its surroundings. The contrasting colors create a striking visual effect and a harmonious, modern abstract impression. The contrast between the geometric pattern of the orange steps and the soft, flowing orange and pink tones in the background also emphasises the expressive impact of the painting.

The background features an abstract design with vibrant splashes of pink, orange and blue, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere. The bright colors accentuate the sparrows plumage and highlight the birds delicate features. Perhaps the songbird is perched in a garden, in a tree with bright blossoms in spring, or against a colourful sky in the morning or evening. Or is the colourful foliage of the trees already glowing in the background in autumn? Perhaps the bird lives in the city, whose vibrant colours shine in the background. The abstraction leaves room for your own interpretation. This painting is part of my small series of three watercolors, each depicting a sparrow on a branch against a colorful background.
