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. Themeworks is finished, my new blog is http://studioasturias.blogspot.com, accessed from my profile page.

# 133 New Knit Shoal

Knitting is certainly a fine craft, once learned, someone could literally knit anything from fishing nets of hemp fiber, to full garments of fine Alpaca. JLC

I especially like Dressage and Planting Corn, and the colors on the scarf in this one are just stunning! I truly admire artists who have mastered the portrait, no easy feat!

Jon Conkey said...: Hi Jan, Your words are inspiring, thanks for the compliment. I am currently rethinking my whole blog theory. I am not happy with my results; no sales or inquiries for 150 days, sometimes the writing is on the wall. JLC; 10:38 AM
