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.

# 107 Gypsy Dancer
When I think of gypsies, all of these other things come to mind as well; namely castanets, guitars, energetic foot dances, clever craftsmanship, exotic costumes and a travelling existence. I have had the priviledge of camping with a two family band in Mexico on a surf adventure, they were very thoughtful, courteous and welcoming, their music was unbelievable. JLC
