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.

These paintings were an opportunity for me to learn the art of oil painting,...which is an endless practice.

wow Jon...I was wanting to to do more portraits and figurative pieces..but these are intimidating...or inspirational...I'll try to use the inspiration surge and use them as a benchmark. Thisnis a great portrait for so many reasons...love the brushwork! and the natural colors!

Hi Mick, I appreciate your interest in my paintings, and I am pleased they are inspiring your work. It is unfortunate for me that I have nowhere to sell my pieces other than the web. They just stack up here for now, until I become famous; ha ha! JLC
