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.

These birds cruise by so close one can hear them breathing, yet their feathers are silent. Sometimes, they sharply exhale like a weight lifter releasing a bar; I was startled to hear the strength in their breath the first time. JLC
