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.
Our National Portrait Gallery affected me so deeply by it's fine collection, my paintings will undoubtedly begin to show the signs of this influence. Today we have reached 100 works since April. JLC
