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.

Leslie Sealey said...: This is an outstanding paintng; you really get a feel for the cold, crisp atmosphere. You make it look easy! I like your painting called "Night Tracks", too.; 10:53 PM
Jon Conkey said...: Laura, Thanks for the feedback, I was trying to add people into the mix this time; it always seems that I paint so much looser when I do; probably from my fear of having to paint everyone with any sort of detail.; 9:33 AM
Jon Conkey said...: Leslie, You are well aware of experimentation, thanks for your inputs. These comments really do affect my work, at least I will know what others think of my attempts.; 9:35 AM
