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.

#38 Forest Stand of Blue Spruce
Our upper meadow is a painters dream with so many locations to paint. The little tree in front is a Red Juniper the others Blue Spruce; their forms are very distinct. Capturing the individual character of plants and trees with a brushstroke is a big part of the difficulty in plein air painting, it soon becomes a lifetime study in itself. JLC
