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.

Wow, you've really captured something here. This may be my new favorite piece of yours. That cold desert blue is beautiful, nocturnes are certainly among the most difficult things to paint.
Thanks Kim!
Thanks for the good words Tony, night scenes are a favorite of mine, though many end up in the trash,(or should). Everyone seems to handle them so differently, this one was so odd I held off posting for a while; I am glad I decided to post it. Cheers
