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.

# 143 "Michella"

Painting at this frequency causes one to become very familiar with the features and anatomy of the face and skintones. This portrait is a complete invention. JLC

Jon Conkey said...: Hi Michella,

Thanks for looking into my archives. Unfortuneatly, this is an original oil painting...I have no way of making a print. You might try "right clicking" and printing it off on your computer, and of course I do sell my original work.

Best, Jon; 11:21 AM
