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.

# 86 Unicorn Flower
Something amazing happens from painting flowers, one begins to see a delicate and subtle part of nature come to life. Through observation, one may discover that flowers are quite alert and respond quickly to change in their environment. By studying flowers, one learns how nature communicates to us on different levels. JLC

I have enjoyed this month's theme, Flowers, Butterflies, and Birds. They are all beautiful, but my favorite so far is the pink hibiscus.
Thanks Wikifay, the Hibiscus, and the Sugar Pumpkin were the most challenging of the flowers to paint; those crumpled paper-like textures can overwhelm the minds ability to imitate them with a brush. JLC
