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.

#11 Sir William Crookes "Radiometer"
Sir William Crookes invented this device, Nikola Tesla was so amazed by it that he patented several inventions relating to a radiant energy; not solar or heat energy, but cosmic vibrations of a very high level. Almost as fascinating as watching this thing spin, is how someone could achieve the talent to blow the glass around the contents and still keep the vacuum inside. JLC
