Very sorry to hear of the passing of Karin Jurick. Like many others, I first encountered Karin when I was a member of DailyPaintworks, but I have followed her wonderfully-accomplished work ever since. She was indeed an inspiration – and an especial delight to all artists, but perhaps to figurative painters most especially. Never having the good fortune to take a workshop with her, I nevertheless devoured any online content she generously made available. Her paintings provide a legacy to her immense talent, distinctive technique, and inimitable gift for human observation. Karin, you will be missed.
