'Unexpected Invitation' drawing by James McCormack, Artist

9 in a series

"That's him!" exclaimed Mac. His eyes narrowed "Is this why they call you The Artist?"
"One reason", said the Artist "There are..."
The dame whispered fiercely, interrupting "At the door, don't look, it's him!"
"Darling" said the Artist "He hasn't seen us yet. Stand up, go to meet him".
""Why?"
"Invite him to join us", replied the Artist "He won't kill me with witnesses".

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/golden-bird-of-fantasy-karen-kaspar.html



The inspiration for this abstracted acrylic painting of a Golden bird of Fantasy was a photograph I took weeks ago of a Greater Titmouse bird sitting in a bush in my garden in spring. I liked the pose of the bird, but was in the mood for something more colorful today. So I decided to have some fun and - here is my Golden bird of Fantasy.

Day 03 of 30
'Uncomfortable Company' drawing by James McCormack, Artist

10 of a series

She went to the foot of the stairs to meet the hired killer as he descended, speaking to him briefly and indicating the table with her companions.  They seated him opposite the Artist.
"You know why I'm here", he said to the Artist, ignoring everyone else.
"I know," was the answer " It's business. I also know, if you sat down, we can negotiate".
I looked around, suddenly seeing how the pieces were starting to fit together, me, the dame, Mac.

Day 3 Donations Accepted (photography)



I went to meet a friend at a coffee shop in Alameda, California today and saw what looked like a bright orange parking meter on the sidewalk just next to the building. If you look closely you will see that it's a mechanism to collect donations to help end homelessness. Creative, interesting, and definitely the first I've seen of this type of collection device.

Day 4 - Daisies in the meadow watercolor painting.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/daisies-in-the-meadow-karen-kaspar.html



In my garden there are several corners where wildflowers can grow. These beautiful oxeye daisies or marguerites caught my eye today and I had to paint this watercolor painting.
Don't mow your lawn! Let the wildflowers grow! If you give back parts of your garden to nature without to much intervention, wildflowers like daisies, dandelions, poppies, clover, cornflowers and many more will bloom and attract bees, butterflies and other insects. A delight for nature and for the gardener and artist.

Love eating fresh, ripe, sweet and D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S berries -- especially when they are blended like this in a wonderful fruit salad (one of my favorite breakfast foods that happened to start my day 4 of this 30-day challenge)!

Day 04 of 30

11. 'My Thoughts Danced' ink on paper

The Artist hired me to find the hit man. I found him through Mac, who seemed to be innocent in all this. The dame turned up, also looking for the hit man.
I watched a couple dance, the music speeding up. My thoughts danced, then began to line up.
Mac was a bystander, I was the investigator, she had hardly been sent as well by the Artist. That meant she was in on it, or followed me, or both. I gripped her forearm, out of sight. She felt it and flashed me a piercing look.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/yellow-bearded-iris-karen-kaspar.html



This beautiful yellow bearded Iris in my garden opened her blossoms two days ago. So today I decided to paint this loose watercolor flower portrait. I painted on handmade watercolour paper I bought some years ago in a little shop. The paper has a wonderful unique texture and is great for wet in wet paintings.
I inherited this yellow bearded Iris plant from my grandmother years ago. Every summer her beautiful bright yellow blossoms remind me of my grandma and her wonderful garden.

Day 6

A late spring snowstorm in Vermont gave its landscape a fantastical aspect and an intriguing palette of colors, the canopy of budding leaves and stark trunks against the snow, the darkness and the light, the softness and starkness, with Winter still nipping at its heels, Spring gives us new hope.

It more closely resembles an abstract almost dream like image.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/calico-cat-portrait-karen-kaspar.html



The owner of this beautiful tricolor or calico cat told me, that only the female cats have the three colors white, black and orange as pattern in their fur. This cat had two sons, one was white with black patches, the other one was white with orange patches.

In many countries people believe these cats with calico coloring bring good luck. In Germany they are called Glückskatze, which means literally lucky cat. In the United States, these are sometimes referred to as money cats. In Maryland in the United States the state cat is a cat of the calico coloration. Japanese sailors often had a calico ship's cat for protection.
