A "Journal of Paintings" by Jon Conkey, Themeworks was a "one-year-long" record of my progress in the art of "oil painting", and an attempt to paint 365 paintings in one year. Changing the monthly theme allowed me to focus on subjects I may not have otherwise painted. As an artist, I was looking for discovery and breakthroughs in my works through this daily practice.

****April 2006's theme is "A Person, Place or Thing", with an emphasis on quickness in rendereing the subjects in paint. "ThemeWorks" is an artistic journal in the form of small oil studies. This work is based upon "Twelve Monthly Themes" chosen on the 1st day of every month...SEE ARCHIVES... On April 1, 2006, I began numbering the works; #1 through #365, representing one year. All "ThemeWorks" are original oil paintings, executed alla prima and posted daily on this blog. They are painted on archival oil primed materials. For purchase info, e-mail jon@jonconkey.com ..
