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.

Hi there
I love your use of color on this painting. Every hue is crisp and the application of the paint is great. Also wanted to say that you have a way to capture people's personalities in your portraits that's very hard to do. These paintings are alive, they are not the dead 2 dimensional representations of someone's likeness.

Hi Luis, Those are fine compliments, it is nice to have this feedback; I am still learning a lot about oils from watching all the others out there. JLC
