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.

Thanks much! How did you know those folks could read well...they don't even have their books with them. hahaha; 10:02 AM
Jon Conkey said...: Hi Leslie,

Thanks for stopping by. I need to get over it and just start putting folks in my work more often. I cannot tell you why I don't do it more...it is just something in my head. I either paint a person alone, or a landscape alone, but rarely both. I think too much about figures and their placement...things must change!; 10:10 AM
