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.

# 250 Plein Air Painting

No painting today, shoveling snow down my road has left my arms like spagetti. This is a little plein air piece was done in late summer using a palette knife to get the paint on the board, then moving it with a brush. Oil 6.00" x 9.00" email jon@jonconkey.com to purchase.
