soldstressing the idea of not always aspiring to create a more-realized piece because sometimes we just have a sliver of the day to paint and what's important is that you paint. I used one of my food-art analogies - some days you aspire to make lasagna. You know it'll take hours, you know it will be delicious, but you don't have the time and you don't have the energy - so crack open a can of Chef-Boyardee instead and perhaps tomorrow you'll be inspired to make that lasagna.
The point also can be made that the quick, looser paintings can be liberating and just as satisfying. I love painting this way.

Today was my Chef-Boyardee Day, but mine didn't turn out half as good as yours! I like your easy and loose brush strokes. Very nice painting.
I love this one, Karin. It has a pixelated feel to it, which is rather interesting in a painting. The whole mood is one of pure relaxation and enjoying life.
Karin,

Hi Karin, I came from Ivy Allover's blog and all i see here is wonderful!!! your paintings are gorgeous!
Thanks for the gentle push to paint regardless of my timeframe; It does seem that this is a great way to keep the creative flow going; no excuses!
Thanks for the insight Karin!
ooooh the brushwork is really great. (not that it isn't always)
I love the way the stripes on the towel vibrate. Your color is always juicy and rich.
