Sweet Christmas Cat is a watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar. A sweet white kitten sits in front of an abstract green background and marvels at a bright red Christmas bauble hanging from the Christmas tree. The cat seems to be smiling and happy about the unusual toy.
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 watercolour painting has been supplemented with the haiku in English. In my portfolio there is also a variant with the poem in Dutch (see album 'Haiku and Painting Dutch'). The painting is also available without text (see album 'Cats').
You can find more paintings with haiku and poems in my albums 'Haiku and Painting English' and 'Haiku and Painting Dutch'. New works are constantly being added to the albums. So keep checking back from time to time!
