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.

I am always amazed at how color communicates itself to me in a painting, at times I look right at the subject, and yet the color is shielded from my senses, only to get a suggestive glint out of thecorner of my eye of its' true nature, like the lilac color on his forehead and chin. JLC
