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.

#5 On Stage Poppy
Posting a painting everyday is certainly not an easy undertaking. It has taken some time to get to a level where it was even possible. Even if one paints very small, the intensity of performing "a painting a day" is an admireable challenge. Developing the skills to paint any object, quickly, with no prior knowledge, would benefit any painter. I am hopeful that my daily studies will increase my knowledge as a painter and refine my brushwork skills. JLC
