About Me

- Name: Jon Conkey
- Location: New Mexico, Mora, Sangre de Cristos, United States
These paintings were an opportunity for me to learn the art of oil painting,...which is an endless practice.
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.

What a cool place! I like this one because it really makes you think and wonder about that tower.
Hi Leslie! Someone was very creative in that project; for sure!
OMG! I honestly was just thinking about this castle TODAY! I went there with some guy. He played guitar and sang while I drew a pix of this. I gave him the drawing. He later betrayed me and never saw the drawing or him again. This was 20 years ago. I seriously was remembering this moment only 2 hours ago today. COSMIC! You did a lovely job too!
Thanks Saffron, Great story! Too bad about the gypsy guitarist, hope the memory doesn't spoil that special spot for you. 20 years ago in Laguna Beach, the hills and ocean were alive around there, it was a very special time. Cheers!
