And now it's time to add the whiskers...

Photo of the almost finished painting 'Sleeping tabby cat' with the artist's hand holding a pastel pencil ready to paint the whiskers of the cat.
Sleeping tabby cat is a pastel painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A cat with white fur and brown tabby spots is sleeping peacefully. Its head lies relaxed on the floor. The background is abstracted in soft blue and earthy tones. The softly smudged pastel chalk enhances the calm atmosphere and emphasises the cat's relaxed expression.

Almost caught up on adventure paintings from April—a montage of the Beringer Winery in the Napa valley. Seen here is a view of the old winery building, and an abstract California Poppy I saw on the grounds.

A watercolor montage of images on toned gray paper: a set of wood doors framed by a stone archway, with old random-shaped bricks extending away from the entrance. A vine arches around the sides and top of the doorway with green leaves. A plaque above the door reads “Beringer Bros. Inc. Bonded Winery”. To the right is a loosely-painted representation of a California poppy, with stems and leaves below. In the lower right corner, a sticker that says “Discover Beringer” with an illustration of the Beringer Mansion.

Another adventure painting from April—a montage of this amazing motel in Santa Rosa, The Astro. We had fresh oranges for breakfast from a tree outside, wandered through statuary in the garden, and admired the so-retro shower tiles.

A watercolor montage of images on toned gray paper: a tall riveted steel sign with vertical raised letters in orange and blue spelling “Astro”, with “the” written in cursive above the main letters. A cluster of oranges with green leaves. A section of pattern trapezoidal tiles in reddish orange, mustard yellow and light steel blue. A stylized concrete statue of an owl. The background is painted in blue and green.

This adventure painting is from April—a day we spent mining Polka Dot Agate outside Madras in central Oregon. Seen here is a slab of agate we mined, and a moody sunset over the Table Rocks we stopped to capture on our way home that night.

A watercolor painting on toned gray paper of a sunset breaking through dark clouds over two wide, flat-topped rock formations standing stark against distant mountains, with a line of dark trees and green fields in the foreground. Below this scene, a rectangular slab of rock is seen, full of dark brown and ochre-yellow orbs floating in lavender agate. A diagonal streak of dark brown, red-brown and ochre cuts across the slab. Wisps of ochre and red-brown curl out from this diagonal line. In the bottom right corner is a sticker of a burrito cart from Bend Breakfast Burrito.

Below is the agate I referenced, cut from rough we mined in April.

I’ve been catching up on adventure paintings this week, so here’s one of the view from our campsite in Leslie Gulch over Memorial Day weekend—a rock we affectionately call the Jawa Crawler.

A watercolor painting on toned gray paper of a prominent volcanic rock formation which resembles the shape of a Jawa Crawler vehicle from Star Wars. The rocks are tan streaked with reddish brown, topped by black caps that look partly melted, rising up from green hillsides against a blue sky with scatterings of patchy clouds.

Here are some #workinprogress shots from my new cat painting....

The finished painting is here:

Collage of six images showing the painting process of my cat painting - On the catwalk is a hand-painted acrylic painting in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
A black cat balances on the thin bar of a wooden fence. The elegant pose with its paws placed in front of each other and its tail curved upwards gives the impression that the beautiful animal with its shiny black fur is walking on a catwalk like a model. The cat's yellow-green eyes are directed attentively to the left, conveying a sense of curiosity or concentration.
The background is abstracted in bright lime green and light green shades, suggesting a natural environment such as the foliage of bushes or trees.
The picture is painted with loose and expressive brushstrokes.

A new adventure painting, from our first visit to Muir Woods, a truly magical redwood forest just north of San Francisco. We were there in the late afternoon, and found it low in crowds and high in light rays
