eat, drink, sleep, cuddle sometimes I wish I was my cat Sweet dreams is a minimalist black and white ink drawing by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute kitten lies sleeping on the floor. It seems to be smiling and having sweet dreams. This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku). A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines. Here the ink drawing was supplemented with the haiku in English

A view of a bleak, hazy, white-orange sky with a sun that is muted and has a visible corona, scattered by the haze. Hills are barely visible as outlines in the distance. In the foreground, a flag flies at half staff, presumably for an unrelated reason, and yet it contributes visually to a sense of foreboding or mourning in the scene.
