Karin anime funny moments10/3/2023 ![]() One of the nice things about her Painting a Day blog posts is they are usually accompanied by a small bit of writing. It would be easy for an arist to treat quick paintings of these humble objects as a simple study, but Jurick’s confident approach turns them into a statement. Her daily painting subjects are generally small objects – flowers, jars, cheeses, fruit or other items found in the kitchen or studio. When I went from her “ Painting a Day” blog to the galleries on her regular web site, I was delighted to find the she carries those traits over into her more fully realized work. ![]() Her paintings are bright, fresh, colorful, painterly, direct, and full of the textures and light of everyday life. ![]() Karin Jurick’s work exemplifies all of those things that I find so appealing in those small, quickly done paintings. As a result I discovered several painters at the time whose work I like for just those reasons and I continue to find that true as I discover new artists for my follow up post on “Painting a Day” blogs, part 2 (coming fairly soon, I think).Īs much as I like all of the painters I included in the first post, (in addition to the remarkable Duane Keiser, who started the practice), I found one new painter in particular whose paintings I enjoy very much. When I did my post on “Painting a Day” blogs, I found that the conditions of painting a small painting each day make an immediate, painterly approach and the depiction of convenient everyday objects almost a prerequisite. I also tend to like work that is immediate and “painterly”, in which you can see the artist’s hand in the form of visible brushstrokes. This is why I often like simple scenes of everyday things painted well enough to open your eyes to them. One of the things that art does at its best is to let us see the familiar as new and the ordinary as extraordinary.
