kittie's surprise
my Christmas present for you
ME!
Merry Christmas cute cat is a black and white ink drawing hand-painted with watercolours by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A cute little cat sits in a Christmas present and looks curiously at three red Christmas baubles hanging from above. The present is red with the inscription Merry Christmas. On the kitten's head is a red Christmas hat with a white pompom.
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 Dutch. In my portfolio there is also a variant with the poem in English (see album 'Haiku and Painting English'). 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!
